There were plenty of these 'dummy' radios on eBay awhile back and are probably still there for around $100. Don't limit yourself to a 77 though since a 25 looks the exact same. It's not like it would matter with it being non-functional. Get some 24087 paint and respray one. I use a pencil eraser to repaint the white lettering.

Just got back to site....thanks for the tips.......I have a prc77 set up to mount on the jeep.....all the pics I see show it far forward on the fender... how does that work and still mount the bow brackets? looks like the mount would cover the holes for the bow set up......anyone know the answer?......

the mounting plate clears all the brackets.... it sits forward to clear the rear seat when you fold it.
