I'm going to be installing a modern stereo in the glove box of my 70 bee and just leave the stock radio in place for looks. Does anyone here know a company who sells a plate cut out for a stereo head unit flush with the face of a 68-70 b body? If not and you have a template, I'd love to see it. Show me what you've done!
I’m listening.

Talk to Bigmoneylewis about putting in a MP3 jack to your stock radio. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

Might be a good stop gap measure but my radio is an am only. I really want decent sound, blue tooth, amplifier sub box, eq, remote, bla, bla, bla.

We can give you am fm stereo, 180 watts total power, aux jacks in your factory AM radio, and it will remain 100 % original in appearance . We've done quite a few 1970 B body radios this year.
However, I don't know what a bluetooth is or how it hooks up , so I can't answer that question.

Greg I assume you can do that with a 71 two post A-Body radio too?

Yes, we do the FM conversions on just about any 60's-mid 70's radio, but we specialize in Mopar .

Bluetooth is a type of short range wireless communication. If you've ever seen someone talking in what sounds like a telephone conversation and has a small device hanging on his/her ear - that's Bluetooth. He/she is talking and listening to their cell phone via the ear thing.
A lot of radio manufacturers are beginning to include Bluetooth comm circuits in their radios to interact with a driver's cellphone as a hand's free device. It's cool, but still annoying

A suggestion..
The 70 Bee has a ralley dash, purchase a Radio delete plate. Using a Dremel cutting wheel, cut a DIN opening. Next pick out a good quality DIN CD player such as Alpine or Pioneer, and most of these have a direct connection for an iPod through USB. We prefer to have a rear panel USB jack, and now put the iPod in the glove box.
Even the Mopar factory chassis support bracket lines up fine with the back of the DIN CD player.
For speakers we made a bracket to put (2) 3 1/2" 2-ways in the front and (2) 6x9" in the rear below the deck. All done without any cutting so you can return to stock whenever if desired. I have gotten many compliments for the install..
Just my $0.05...

Year one sells a single din plate to mount your radio i think it was like $20 bucks i also made a plate to mount 2 3 1/2 speakers in your dash .
Yes..
Year One sells a Ken Harrison plate #KHDB689...
But this is for the 68/69 Roadrunner which is not a ralley dash. In 2004, is when I made my plate..
Basic idea is the same, thats why I used a radio delete plate, didn't take long to make using the Dremel (@ lo speed) & carbide wheel.
Since my primary biz is doing pro audio installs for show cars, this was a kool challenge. @ 1 time, I was considering having my idea tooled/molded by a local car audio parts supplier here in SoCal but $ and qtys' were a major issue... Same with the front speaker mounting plate, simple to make out of thin aluminum..
Though done many years back, we still field many audio install questions @ the various shows where my 70 RoadRunner is shown..
Just my $0.05...
