No clue they do not work lol, but there are speakers there. Found them today trying to pop the dent out of my door. They are in a really nice bracket and look legit. Thats why I questioned it. I will get pictures tomorrow for you all to see.

I have vague memories of the radio working when I was very little, but that was a long time ago.... it still comes on but all the speakers are dry rotted and pretty much no existant now.

81 & up factory location for the 4x10's were in the back cab corners. Both of my pre '81 trucks only had AM radios, so just the center dash speaker.

my 74 was factory equipped with the single 4x10 center dash speaker. My father added 6x9's in the rear corners and a couple 4-5" speakers up under the dash as well. Kinda just tucked em up there with a single bolt or two holding them in place.
