Allan, it's been quite a while since I've disassembledone my car, but you'll find a number of options online. http://www.classiccarstereos.com/1958-impala-speakers.html
The speaker kits for the dash should bolt right into those holes below the screen.

Here you go
Also for what its worth I don't know why I cannot find it right now but I KNOW that the speakers are DIFFERENT ohms for the pushbutton and the base radio. I just cant seem to locate where that info is located. DO NOT power the radio on without having a speaker connected. They usually take a lil bit for the tubes to warm up before they start playing.
I strongly suggest you look at this company in Minnesota. I have their speakers in my 62's and 2 - AM original radios conversions to AM/FM with disc players playing through the original radio(it stays looking original but plays AM/FM and other options).
Read carefully what they say about speakers and the ohm readings and buying speakers that are not correct(and don't work).
I get excellent sound out of the front and rear speakers in my 62 Impalas(4 by 10 to fit the original speaker front mount and the correct speakers for the back seat of all Impalas with the speaker in the seat).

Do not buy generic speakers with large magnets.
They provide advise on what to use for speakers and radio conversions and hooking up the speakers.
There prices for their excellent quality speakers are reasonable...
They now have many other options through the original radio if a person is interested in other options.

Agree 110% with Paul. Had the 2 radio's in my '62 and '64 Impalas converted to AM-FM and capable of playing my I-Pod. Also bought matching speakers from them. Am very pleased with their workmanship and tech support. So much so, that I will be sending them the radio in my '71 GTO for the exact same conversion as the others, Carmine.
