I think it will be okay to post these 2 repair guys as there are no supporting vendors that do this. Mods, please feel free to scold me if I'm out of line with this thinking.
This guy is really good but pricey: http://www.wtv-zone.com/TonyMac/Delcowr.html#rs
This one did a great job repairing mine, not a total rebuild, just repaired what was needed: Gordon Ward glw@mchsi.com or phone 256-852-0955 (Huntsville, AL.)
Be sure to run 8 ohm speakers with these older radios. Modern speakers will blow the output circuits. Many of the supporting vendors have Delco "upgrade" speakers which are 2-way, sound a lot better then the originals and mount in the dash the same.

A radio like this would fit your car . you can put up to & including a model year 1976 in your car. "77 wont fit, even tho on Ebay I see them all the time that say they will.
A stock radio is going to suck nearly as bad as a Custom Auto sound. Maybe you could get a cheap core radio (that could be upgraded to modern technology)and send it to the rebuilder that is advertising in the parts section. I just sold a 77 radio for $25, there are cheap cores around if you look.
Also plenty of Radios for your car on Ebay.
I dont have an exact part # for 1974 radio but this will keep you near the top.
