Here's the standard dash speaker fader. This is a 74 challenger, but should be the same for all years 70-74.
I'm looking for measurements for this too if you've got them.

If no one posts measurements today I will post them Sunday. I have two Standard dash bezels with the fader hole on them, one is the rare '70 only model than I am using for my car.

the kit contains both the rallye dash and standard dash pieces.
So what pieces are different? Is it just as simple as swapping the knob & bezel?

What did a car with 3 speaker dash and no rears come with?
All AM FM and AM 8-track stereo E body cars used a crossover box , and it's the same box weather you had 3 or 5 speakers ,if that's what you are asking. The big difference is the wiring harness , where a 5 speaker car will have a plug for the rear speaker harness as well as a plug for the fader . Those plugs are not found on a 3 speaker harness. The crossover box takes the left / right stereo channels and creates the 3rd ,center channel . The crossover also sends the lower bass sound to the center dash speaker, and the higher sounds to the outboard dash speakers.
Also , 1 last tidbit , if you are looking for a 3 speaker stereo underdash harness , and all you find is a 5 speaker, You can still use it for your 3 speaker application, however, you MUST have a fader plugged in for it to work, You can even use a C body fader (and harness for that matter) Just fade it all the way to the front speakers and leave the fader out of sight behind the dash . If you don't plug in a fader, you will get no sound at all out of your radio .

I am redoing the dash in my '70 Challenger with AM/8-Track.
Hopefully you've already got these pieces? all 3 unique 70 challenger dash speaker grills
the ribbed radio surround plate to match your standard cluster bezel.
the 70 challenger dash trim with 8 track notch. That will be the toughest find I think.
If you end up needing a package tray with speaker slots, Dave Walden at ECS has the most correct ones, textured with the right # of slots. The REM ones everyone else sells are smooth and use a GM slot style. (few people would ever notice the difference, so it's up to you)
