Awesome thread JohnnyC.

Been looking for a 2 shaft radio with MP3 capability to allow me to remove some gizmos and suction caps from the 40. At the moment I'm using an Alpine CD tuner with an Ipod touch suction capped to the dash with an FM sender. Not ideal.

I found this one on Amazon which doesn't have a digital display at a good price.

Amazon.com: Pyle PLR14MPF In-Dash AM/FM-MPX MP3 Shaft Style Dual Knob Radio with USB/SD Card: Electronics

Simple retro manual AM/FM tuning so less to go wrong. Folks were biatching about the display on the Pyle PLR22MPF crapping out on them, and I'd say this one solves that particular problem.

I'd mod it with retro black and chrome knobs off an old car radio from the wreckers (assuming they'd fit) as well as re-do the face plate so it looks a little more stock-ish.

No one is going to steal a car audio system which doesn't have a digital readout, so it might be perfect for those of us who run soft tops/no tops.

Then of course there's this one: Retro Sound radio brings modern music to your classic car — Autoblog

But it seems a little pricey (US$299) for what you're getting which is basically generic electronics with a custom face plate. Personally, I'd much prefer the unit in the previous post with a custom faceplate and its simple functionality.

This is the one I bought for my 55 project. I can't believe I let it go with the box of truck parts.

I was asked to post these pictures of a radio I recently purchased from a 1967 fj40.
Here they are:
