You're right, I guess, if we're talking from a K/5 perspective. My '68 C/10 Stepside had the slots, even though it had no factory radio off the showroom floor. PO put in a late- '50s GM AM pushbutton radio, Antenna was a junkyard whip w/o a cowl to hang it on. It was laid out long, inside the windshield, as far forward as possible.
The '71 Jimmy [K/750] had no underdash speaker. A low cost cassette deck was in the 2-hole slot and 6x9 oval speakers cut into the inside sidewall panels, behind the front seats.
It probably had a Delco AM/FM tuner. Circa 1995 when I bought it.
