Re: Don't give up on old rusty AM radios

OP, cool that old radio fired right up. I know in todays world of streaming everything on Bluetooth devices has taken over and even new car radios now come with Sirus or XF enabled radios where programming is endless.

My 72 is a radio delete truck and I thought about getting one of the "Retro Sound" radios as I did not want to cut up the dash for a single DIN type modern radio nor did I want to cut up door panels or kick panels for speakers let alone drill the fender for antenna so I went another route.

Used the two screw positions for the heater panel under dash to install 2 D rings and just clipped on this JBL Bluetooth unit. It has 100 watts and is loud. I use my cell phone Sirus app and listen to classic rock with no commercials.

$300 and installs in seconds
