I bought one at the local import parts place, the fit was not perfect
for my '84. I had to shim the housing with a plastic washer, not sure
it it's my van or the antenna but it was a lot faster than on-line
for the same cost <g>.
I took the instrument cluster and ash tray out to get the new one in.
Not difficult.
