Wanted - '73-'76 Radio *****

So I've been going through the painstaking effort to put a factory radio back in my Olds (including replacing the entire dash since the previous owner "skillfully" cut a massive hole in it for a touch-screen unit) and I am having immense trouble finding the correct, longer ***** that set inside the outer chrome ***** that were used in the mid-70's full size cars.

If anyone has a pair laying around that they can part with it would be greatly appreciated.

Radio

So you want any year (73-77) Olds radio *****, does it matter it is Cutlass or any model ?
and what about speaker & fader options etc ?

As mentioned above I need the longer style volume / tuner ***** (the smaller, plastic, woodgrain ***** that fit into the chrome outer ***** shown below)





that were used in the full-size cars (Delta 88, 98 Regency).
The radios in these cars were recessed fairly far back into the dash and from what I've seen, are longer than ***** used on the Cutlass.

These look to me to be A body only, but does the length look correct at least for comparison sake. ?

I think you're correct in assuming those are for the A body radios. They look like they'd be just short of reaching the rod inside.
