can anyone tell or show me where the radio is mounted up under the dash of a '65? My radio and dash speaker were missing when I bought the car. Thanks Jerry

There is a thin sheet metal support bracket, maybe 3/4" wide, that attaches to the rear of the radio and goes up to a mount above the radio (that is all I can see). With the radio removed I think you should be able to see the mounting point.

I have the mounting point on the replacement radio, but I can't see any place to run a strap to under the dash. Thanks Jerry

A picture is worht a thousand words. The attachment for the strap is on the left side of the picture. Note that I have Custom Autosound radio and had to modify the bracket for fitment.

A picture is worth a thousand words. I see now. I was looking for something straight up for a mount. Thank you, thank you. Jerry

A small bracket going upward from the ashtray frame is about the simplest way to do it. I bought a Mustang once that had the rear bracket bolted to the wiper arm. Wondered why the radio moved when the wipers were on.
