1968 gmc am/fm radio
 
Does anybody have a good picture of an original 1968 gmc am/fm radio and do you know if these were a one year only design or are other years the same? Thanks, Brian

I think 70 or 71 was the first year for am/fm.

Thanks for the replies, they must have been late to switch to Fm then.

Yeah they were,compared to cars. Just like tilt wheel,cruise control,shoulder belts,head rests,integral p/s,disc brakes,and standard:side marker lights,electric choke,day/night mirror,padded steering wheels...trucks received many upgrades later than cars

Will a radio from a 1968 Gm product fit in the truck dash though? Maybe I'll just do that but I do not want to butcher the dash.

First generation Camaro radios fit right in and look the same as the truck radios. But,you'll pay a premium over the already expensive truck AM/FMs. Why not just put a truck AM/FM in? If GM did put AM/FMs in a '68 it would have been identical,the AMs are.

You can get an AM radio and send it out to get modern guts and FM radio put in it. (don't recall the name or I'd have posted)

I'll put whatever I can find in there that is simialr in vintage. It's just that I know someone who hoards old gm wagons for demolition derby cars and figured he may have one for cheap. I just didn't know if it would fit.
