Re: Radio vs. radio delete

I found my Delete Plate inside the passenger door, when we were installing stereo speakers. That was around '79. It had been there since '73 or before. PO had inexpertly installed a Delco AM-only junkyard-find in the holes. I cut a rectangle into my delete plate to make it a faceplate for my Sanyo AM/FM Cassette deck. I had also painted it several coats of Flat Black. I had been a perfect matching 516 Orange, like the whole truck. I decided aftermarket radios were a wiring liability [and a driver distraction] so I took out all non-stock electric accessories in '02, when I started an overhaul and engine rebuild. I now have a white Delete Plate, I got from a board member for $10.
