I have a sinking suspicion the dash was modified..but wanted to confirm by asking knowledgable stovebolters the dimensions of the radio opening on 54's. Cheers!

Here is LonnieC's 54 dash (with the radio opening cover) Here is another photo from LonnieC - no cover and no radio Tim 1954Advance-Design.com 1954 3106 Carryall Suburban 1954 3104 5-window pickup w/Hydra-Matic The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.

I can send measurements if you need them.
