Hi Ed,
When I replaced those speakers in my Scout they were a standard size
that Crutchfield carried.  I think it was 5 1/4" so you won't have trouble
fitting them in.  I didn't check to see if 6x9's would fit.  I would highly
recommend the waterproof enclosures to keep dust/dirt and water if you
spray up there off of them.  When I pulled the old original speakers out I
found that Ziebart sprayed their goop right over them.  No wonder they
didn't sound very good but at least they didn't rust ;-).

HTH,
