Default c3 Faceplate?

Can't seem to remember where to get them.
I need one that I can use a din style radio in my 72 to clean it up.
Seems like they were cheap.
The dash is trashed anyway, and I dont want to spend the big bucks on one that Mid america sells.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction?

If you're going to cut the dash then all you really need is a bezel/plate for around the stereo, which you can probably find at Circuit City or Best Buy. Here's an example, but it's a whole kit from Crutchfield and probably more than you need:

Once you've cut the console to size for a single DIN you just need to cover up the jaggies.

Someone makes a faceplate that is designed for the c3 dash.
It makes the radio look like it fits.
