Default Shallow depth radio

I finally managed to get the gauge panel on my 73 to fit with the Vintage Air ductwork behind it. Don't think I can get the radio to fit as well. I thought I saw a "Corvette" radio that has a shallow depth, but I can't find it. Any suggestions? Blue tooth would be nice. As always, thanks for any help.

I put this in mine as a temp fill when my cd player failed ....works so well I haven't done anything else. Just needed something to fill the hole and it cost like 22 bucks. Phone pairing, aux input, usb input, am/fm..... not that I could hear anything even if I did pair the phone. There are a lot better quality shallow units also.

Thanks for the idea! Would rather not need to cut the radio opening if possible.

There are other radio options on this sight also
I have one of these, they are about the third in depth as the original, and are very light in weight.

Sweet! I just ordered one, I prefer to use my USB music to a radio.

I found the same unit, and just ordered it last night. Looks like a really nice piece.
