Well ....

If you want to spend the money, you could put in a dash console, the one
that goes from the instrument cluster all the way across the dash and
has the fold out map table, then cut an opening in the front (just below
where the ashtray opening in the console is) for the stereo.  You could
then cut the bottom off a stock ashtray to cover the ashtray hole and
make it look good.

I have such a dash console in my '85 Westy but I put gauges in the front
instead of a stereo.
