I found one inside my passenger door, on the bottom, painted the same RPO 516 Orange as my whole truck. Since it was the late '70s, I thought nothing of it to cut holes in it for a cassette deck and painted it wrinkle-flat black, for an AM/FM Cassette Deck face panel. It was better than the plastic with a paper wood-looking decal that came with the deck.
Since then I have gone back to the Radio Delete look, but have had to buy them. One was a junkyard find. I gave the junkie about $5 at a pick'n'pull. Another I bought from a board member for $10.
