A silver face radio and black face radios are pretty much the same as far as fitting into the dash.
The question will be wiring hookups.
Most radios with only one speaker – has a rather simple wiring schematic.
In ’77, even the Stereo system is pretty basic.
The newer style (not sure what year but ’81 maybe?) Chrysler went a more across the board design that they used for a long time afterwards.
Attached is PDF files of the ’77 system and pictures from my ’86 FSM of the newer design.
I’ve ran out of time tonight to speak more about your plans – so stay tuned.
