A person can patch in to the antenna with an MP3 player
I've found a lot of OEM radio sets on flea-pay over the years just to look at the photos. The 38 & 39 Ford cars used the one that would fit under the dash with a built in speaker and low controls. It worked OK for them since they had windshield ventilation and mechanism for that. They were made for that particular type of dash and may not work in a pickup. Things changed in 1940 due to the solid mounted windshield with just a cowl vent and the radio controls were moved high up on the dash. I'm not sure what type of radio was used in the 1942 through 1947 pickups. All I've ever seen in the Ford name plates in the center of the dash on the later ones. A person would have to cut holes or go underneath the dash with an accessory radio.
I'd suggest using a glove box radio or control for one anyway. Maybe even a remote MP3 player set up so that you can at least have music.
