Upright Factory Radio on eBay
Have you guys seen a radio like this in a Chevy truck?? I was starting to think it was for a Corvette, but all of those are FM/AM. Any thoughts, is it rare??

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
I think that is for bigger trucks. I'm sure others know exactly what it will fit. Looks like a good price though.

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
Mom drove a Chevy Citation back in the day...and it had the upright radio. Looked nothing like this one, but still upright.

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
The corvettes are quite a bit different. I think he has it listed right as 72-73 heavy duty truck. Here is the one in my bar. Only one i have ever seen.

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't come out of a Chevrolet titan90 or a GMC Astro 95 would it fit in our trucks?

I think you're right . . . I owned a 1971 GMC Astro 95 way back when. It looked a lot like that radio. . . . . Last edited by Steve Hafner; 02-06-2014 at 06:54 PM. |

I hadn't even noticed when I first looked at your picture. I guess it wouldn't matter if it was "sideways" !!! So, the radios that we're talking about here ARE the same size ? |

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
Thank's c 10 agent for posting that radio. I just bought it. For $50 I will gamble on its rarity. I Think I'll stick it on a shelf and forget about it for a few years.

Besides having the numbers "sideways" - I think it was a different size too. I'd like to see a picture of the AM/FM radio if you can post it on here. . . . . |

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
A lot of guys on here have built some really cool custom consoles- this would be great in one of those!

Re: Upright Factory Radio on eBay
I believe that GM used them in the T series trucks too.
