Hi Deve,

These are not bolt-in units, at least for my '54.  The wiper transmission
holes don't bolt up easily, and the on-off switch isn't right and needs
modification to fit an original knob.  I believe it won't  allow an original
radio to be installed.  If I were doing it over again, I'd look at the cable
unit the other guys are talking about before deciding.
