Can radio delete plates be purchased new?

Re: radio delete plate
 

Nope. Haven't seen them.

There's some for sale around here though. Post a wtb and see what happens.

I know there's a member that's hoarding tons of them but not sure if he sells any of them... :(

Re: radio delete plate
 

I just sold one for 20. I don't know what they're worth but THAT one was worth 20. ha ha ha I only had the one. Sorry.

Re: radio delete plate
 

Hoarding deletes..who does that...Check parts board and ebay....:smoke:

Re: radio delete plate
 

I made a WTB ad but I haven't seen any in the parts board

Re: radio delete plate
 

I see em every so often over there. i paid 6 bucks for mine with a small hole drilled in it ididnt care it was the color i wanted and cheap enuf so i got it

Re: radio delete plate
 

Saw one on Ebay, a month or so ago...

Re: radio delete plate
 

I only found one on ebay and it was broken.

Re: radio delete plate
 

I have one but it only has one clip =( I think the clips are harder to find than the plates

Re: radio delete plate
 

Let this guy know if he can duplicate the part. He does plastic replicas for a lot of muscle cars and maybe even has one that will fit our trucks.

How in the he!! did you collect so many.

Re: radio delete plate
 

I could use one of the heater delete plates. They are the ones that are hard to find.

Re: radio delete plate
 

It has been about the chase for me..It started as something I had wanted in my 72 build..Just so happened the first guy I called said $75 and would not budge,(I did not buy that one)...,I went to a couple spots the first weekend and picked up 3 for free.,that sparked my interest...so ebay,parts board,swap meets,junk yards....

Re: radio delete plate
 

$75??? I hope you go over to his house and show him you're collection. It's no wonder no one can find them.

The midnight skulker going around collecting delete plates from all the salvage yards comes to mind. :lol:

Re: radio delete plate
 

just restored this one w/ stainless bowtie .....hugger center, not for sale ;)

Re: radio delete plate
 

When I first got my truck I took the delete plate off to install a radio. I almost threw it out since I didn't have any use for it. Now I'm glad I kept it. Not sure for what but after what I've read here, they're higly desirable. Not valuable but hard to come by.

It seems to me that someone with a little ability could easily replicate these with aluminum stock or sheet metal.

Re: radio delete plate
 

just bought one on ebay, for 10 bucks plus 6 for the ride.

Re: radio delete plate
 

Gonna try and make 1 if I get time today in the machine shop... I'd like to make it out of stainless steel but gotta figure out a way to mount it without drilling holes

Re: radio delete plate
 

I saw some posts some time back where guys tried different methods. I think glue was involved.

One method I thought of (I lost my clips) was to glue rubber plugs that would fit tightly in the knob holes. Never could find the plugs though.

Re: radio delete plate
 

I've seen them made with aluminum sheet using hardwood form blocks and a 3 ton press. After painting you can't tell them apart from the original looking from the front.

Re: radio delete plate
 

Awesome!! you should make me one hahaha!

Re: radio delete plate
 

Let me figure out if I can do the lip 1st... I'm thinking I may use a 2part epoxy and attach a magnet to the backside of the stainless steel and use that to make it stick to the dash ... ( fingers crossed)

Re: radio delete plate
 

Is the fitment from a 66 delete plate the same for a 70 chev?

Re: radio delete plate
 

Mine had factory radio delete so I was fortunate enough to have that one, however I need a heater delete plate, anyone have one?

Re: radio delete plate
 

I need one if someone is not hoarding and wants to help a fellow trucker. Let me know by PM your price, condition, etc.--inc. shipping to 27028. They are long gone from wreckers around here. Thanks!

Re: radio delete plate
 

not they are not the same size's.


mr zander, whats up with the embossed bowties on some of them are they added on?
i've never seen them an it seems you have a few.no wander they got so expensive
