Re: speaker in grill
Welcome!
What year?
Not sure about the earlier trucks, but the 69-71 trucks had a plate the speaker screwed to.
Then the plate bolted to the dash with 2 bolts hidden under the defrost vents.
Here is the plate loose, and how I modified one to hold a pair of new 4" speakers.

Re: speaker in grill
Thanks. Mine is a 66 and I'll look up there again.
Re: speaker in grill
I have 3 '68's 1 '64 and 1 '65 If the truck had a speaker they are all installed like the following picture.
ALL OF THEM.
Even the one where the speaker is missing you can see the washer scuff marks.

Re: speaker in grill
My 68 didn't have a factory speaker in it when I got it... In fact, it was a FORD speaker. BUT, I do remember it had two holes in the dash for speaker screws. They were at the ends, not in a square. So, I always "assumed" it was for a 6X9 speaker, not a round one like your "screws" show. Seems... cheap if you ask me.

Re: speaker in grill
My 67 original Mopar speaker was a 5 x 7 with (4) 4-3/8" center to center mounting holes and mounted thru top of dash per Scott's pictures. Purchased an 8 ohm impedance 5 x 7 oval replacement speaker from S M Electro-Tech. It was a perfect fit.

Re: speaker in grill
Every early speaker dash has had the screws through the grille like Scott's pictures.
My non radio dash has no mounting studs of any kind to mount a speaker.

Re: speaker in grill
Would any one have the bolt pattern dimensions, of the speaker itself, for the speaker depicted in the first photo of nfury8's post (post #3)?

Re: speaker in grill
I received an answer on one of the sweptline FB groups. It is 4.375" square, if anyone else needs to know.
