I ditched the am radios (unless you like sports or talk radio stations only) for a custom autosound stereo that not only fits in the original holes but has kick panels that have speakers in them and speakers that go under the seat. They even have a remote cd player so you can listen to the oldies of your choice. But like Crow said to each their own. I like the old look outside with the modern power and handling underneath. I do believe you can have the best of both worlds.
