I officially can't find any measurements. Alpine tech support doesn't even have them yet. The exact measurements will not be known until close to the release date.

I'm replacing a TDA-7563, w/ a 12 disc changer. Will the 138 fit in the same sleeve? Is the body of it any deeper? I remember that I was barely able to stuff this unit in the dash when I installed it, so if this one is any deeper, I will be in trouble.
What do you like for round speakers? I have 5" recessed holes factory cut in my doors. It's not really feasible to enlarge them much. It's a truck, with a gas tank behind the seat, so I don't have many options for other speakers. Kick panels have vents in them, so that's out. I could probably hang something under the dash. Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the cans are different. Alpine changed the way the unit locks into the can several years ago. The harness will also be different. The 138 is 8mm deeper than the 7563.. 160mm as opposed to 152mm.
For speakers I will only use and recommend Hybrid Audio... as long as you are willing to spend $100+ on a pair of speakers. If you are looking for a $69 pair of speakers then they won't have anything that cheap... you would need to go to Alpine or something similar. What kind of truck is it? Putting speakers under the dash, firing down, is a really bad place. In the muscle cars for example I usually ditch the vents in the kick panels and put 6.5" speakers there:
