Thanks !!!

it should be a good one for that price, whatever you do don't buy a custom autosound

[hdff]

ouch on the price. and it doesn't even have Bluetooth built in..... looks nice but damn!!!

[CUSTOM/10]

I hear you guys on the price.... That's why I'm looking for some feed-back from someone that has bought one !

I've heard good things about Mike Hagan though !

CAS I heard was crap.

Mixed reviews about Retosound !

That is a lot of money for a standard radio. For that kind of money you can buy a radio to hide with remote and never worry about it.If the truck isn't a full on restoration I would buy a single din radio and install it.

I'm also interested in this radio and asked the same question with no response. I would like one for the factory look

Look up Gary Tayman radio conversions. He takes stock am radios and converts them to am/fm radio with all new radio parts and guts and has iPod connection, Bluetooth, and it keeps the original am faceplate and all the original buttons and knobs and they work as original. He does am/fm radios too. I had a retro sound for 5 years and really didn't like it at all so I sent my am radio out and has it converted and I am amazed at how nice it is and how good the sound is and it's cheaper than Mike Hegans.

I have one in my 70 C-10.

It has a good sound, considering it has just one speaker.

It takes a while to get used to the " touchy " tuning though.

I bought it because it looks just like the original AM/FM radios.

Mine was about the same price, three years ago too.

I haven't plugged in an Ipod yet, but it does have the capability.

[CUSTOM/10]

I definitely don't want to cut my dash, I'm looking for something that will fit in the original location and be good quality. At minimum have am / fm and any modern extras would be a plus. Looking factory would be nice but not necessary. My trucks interior is all factory, but the truck over all is more of a resto-mod. Any other suggestion would be appreciated !

I'll Check out Gary Tayman, but I have no radio to send him to modify .

How much do they charge? That's what Mike Hagan has been doing for years (180w),and it's pricey. I only have experience with his conversions and they sound great! I'm not sure if Hagan isn't just a dealer for these radios or if he is making them. If he makes them and they are the same quality as his conversions then I wouldn't hesitate. Good stereos always cost more than crap. If someone gave me a Custom Autosound and offered to install it I'd turn them down. I'd rather spend twice as much and get what I'm after than half as much for disappointment

It is 385$ for him to convert and AM radio to AM/FM. From when you send it out to the day you get it back is a little under a month to have it all redone. You can also add Bluetooth for a little extra. Here is his website. http://www.garytayman.com/stereo.htm

Good info all ...

[Tom Vogel]

I have one. I wanted a stock looking radio. The only complaint I have is, the buttons are square on the edges instead of rounded like the originals. Other than that. it looks like a brand new am/fm. But for the price, it shoild be exact... just sayin.

[67ctener]

These re pop am fms are available from counterpart/truck shop as well. Glad to know you like them.

[AirSpeed]

I found it, looks to be in good shape, very dusty but the chrome is great. I'll post a pic in a minute.

[AirSpeed]

That sucker has been sitting in my shop for twenty years, came close to tossing it several times! You're welcome to it for the cost of shipping from Ca. Let me know if you want it!
I haven't found the knobs yet but I'll look some more in a bit. It came out of my 69 C10

[CUSTOM/10]

Let me now about the knobs, and what shipping would be ?

Heading to my shop now so I'll look for the knobs again. I don't know where you are but I can't imagine it being more than $15 to ship. I'll check on the knobs and let you know this afternoon.

Didn't get a chance to price shipping, I'll check it out tomorrow and let you know. If you still want it I'll send it on it's way tomorrow.

[AirSpeed]

You got it! You can PM you full address and like I said I'll send it off tomorrow. You can send me a check once I find out the exact shipping. I'll send you an address. Hope it works out! One bummer, couldn't find the knobs, I know I have them but can't remember where! I'll continue to look, if I find them I'll send them off as well, if I find them later I'll send them later! Just do a nice for someone else down the road!

[CUSTOM/10]

Awesome !!!

Make sure you pack that thing REALLY REALLY GOOD. Whenever I send radio's they always get damaged, wether its the cooling fins, knobs or whatever it always gets damaged, even with tons of packing material.

[BLT gmc]

For packing instructions and a laugh read the advice of wonderbarman.com Good luck, Bruce

Older thread, but thanks! I just ordered a Mike Hagen am/fm for my 72. I agonized over it for months, but the price difference between rebuilt, incorrect and this one just isn't worth the heartache. I may order one for my 67 Chevelle if this works out like it sounds....and I have a few dead presidents lying around!
