Hi, I’m trying to repair the radio opening in my 1950 1/2 ton dash. Does anyone know the original width of the opening? The dash was cut up pretty bad but seems like it measured slightly less than 5 inches. Maybe 4 and 15/16”. Does that sound right? Thank you
Jason

Here you go. Corner radius is ~3/16 (a 3/8 drill bit fits in there fairly close). The bottom of the opening is 1" above the speaker/grille opening.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
