Radio block off plate
Do any of the vendors or anyone sell repro radio block off plates. I think for right now I am going to take the radio out. Don't use it and it barely works.

Paragon used to sell one for around $150... It was on perpetual backorder from what I recall. They'd wait for a bunch orders or so before going through the effort of getting them (I believe that they outsourced them).
Genuine GM block off plates tend to sell for around the same amount... Although I have seen a few on ebay top $250.
I don't know if they are still offered, but you might want to give Paragon a call.
Good luck!

Gordon,
If your interested, I refurbish 68-76 radios and can make your sound good as new. Or you can swap yours for credit towards a restored 72 radio. Email me and let me know. Scott

I had a big ol hole in my dash:

Now I'm in the middle of installing a Nordskog gauge panel:

Can't very well have that nasty radio hole with a new gauge set, so I put 2 lighted toggle switches in the radio **** holes and I'm gonna put this over the radio faceplate hole:

There's a number of possibilities if you do it yourself.

Very funny about the Duct tape. The silver does not match the black interior.
Brett, I went all through your pictures but did not see a final picture of the gauge cluster
