Will the radio hole in a BJ73 take a standard size stereo or does it need an adapter?

The hole is usually a double DIN, if you're using a single DIN deck, then you can get a cover plate for the lower part... or put some gauges in there.
Apparently this guy makes gauge set up thingies that could go in those holes - I would like a Pyro and boost to go there: Kickass Stuff For Your 40-Series

Wayne (Crushers) said he made up about 100 of them with 3 holes for gauges for the 70 series.
He sells them really cheap. I am hoping he still has some because I plan on buying one from him in the near future.

Well right now there is the goofy jdm am radio in the top half and a pocket/cubby in the bottom half. i dont do much in the way of car audio, so if i pull the stereo and leave the pocket does a new stereo drop right in or do i have to fab a mount of some kind??

mostly a bolt on with any new single din radio .. you should keep and re use your stock radio brakets ..
This what I did with mine..

Cool, thanks guys. Yes, I've already got a little pocket/shelf in half the opening.
Now, what about those speaker spaces in the stock dash? They seem small, anyone know what fits? Hmm, it looks like the OEM speakers 86160-90k01 are still available... which makes me wonder - if I have the OEM AM radio, maybe I have the OEM speakers too. I should check, haha.

I put a set of Dragster 4" speakers in the stock dash locations in my 74. Sounds good with a pair of 6 inchers and a 10" sub behind the seats.
For my dash a buddy made me a new plate, holds a deck and has cut outs for ARB and aux light switches.
Pyro + boost gauges will go in the dash pod, making a new plate for that too.
Hello,
The brackets will hold any DIN-size radio, single or double height. For the latter you might need extra screws; mine allow for eight on each side.
Make sure the connectors are the same.
A 4 in. speaker set will fit. You have to remove most of the dash to reach them, be careful.
Hope this helps.

for REAL easy installation then get the adapter plug for the stereo install...
i can have a radio installed in about 45 min /// if i feel like sweating...

where you get the deck should also sell them...
mind you i have asked at a couple shops over the years and they say "there is no such thing". just too lazy to look them up.
i have a shop in Calgary that supplies all the parts i need plus wicked deals on decks. i will be picking up a bunch in the next couple weeks when i am there for a visit.

SO does everyone think something fancy like this is a terrible idea? This is the girlfriends truck, I think she might like a navigation system:
