If it's anything like a '68 you have to remove the ashtray receiver, heater controls, ducts (if you have AC), and then it comes down through the dash. Not straight out like a modern car.

It's a pain in the arse to be sure...

Remove the ash tray assembly - unhook the lights and cigar lighter wires from the ashtray assembly. Disconnect the battery to be on the safe side.

Remove the glove box. The glove box is in two pieces, be careful not to damage the glove box, it's fragile and is a pain to remove.

Remove the ducting for the defrost and AC if you have them.

Remove the clock. Another pain...

Disconnect the speaker, power/light wires, antenna lead (and search tuner lead if so equipped) from behind the radio.

Remove the knobs and nuts from the posts of the radio, and then remove the support brace from the bottom of the radio.

The radio should move backwards and downwards to come out.

What do folks use to get this reverse nut off?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

That is not the right nut there. Use a pair of linesman's pliers, and hold them open against the inside walls of the nut's flats, and use that to get the nut started to turn. Also, gently push on the bezel to push the whole assembly back as you're attempting to turn the nut, so as to take some of the load off the nut. Then it should turn much more easily.
