Hey guys, can anyone tell me the original size of the opening in the dash for the radio in a 61 Apache? Looks like mine has been cut already but want to make sure its not original before I hack it up even more to fit a CD player in.

Thanks

I measured my 63 which has a similar dash but not sure if 61&63 radios were the same. With the stock radio in place I measured 1-1/2" high by 3-5/8" wide. The knobs center to center are 6-1/4" apart. Hope this helps.

The dash opening for the factory radio on the '60-'63 Chevy & GMC were the same, since there was one radio option or a radio delete. The style of the radio changed slightly between the '60-'63 model years, but the dash opening, remained the same.

The radio option for the '64-'66 Chevy/GMC trucks, had the same opening dimensions.
