Bill,

One way to do it is to move the radio higher up in the radio console. Just
swap positions with the knob controls. You'll need to make a new metal mask
for the front of the console. The uppermost position will be wide enough for
standard modern radios.

I had a how-to on my website but it's temporarily down. Here's a picture of
my CD stereo radio in my  '66:
