original gm radio
So I bought an original GM radio for my 72 c-10. The problem I ran into is I have no idea how to mount it, or where to get the plug that plugs into the back of the radio. The radio has a small bracket on the back that looks like it should attach to something but there is nothing there under the dash to attach to. The front of the radio has two knobs with silver discs behind them but I don't see any way of tightening the radio down under the knobs. Anyone have any experience putting these things in?

The back of the radio mounts with the speaker. Here is a thread That I posted some pictures of the original speaker & brackets. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...peaker+bracket LockDoc

Re: original gm radio
In addition the the brackets in the rear, there should be two metal "cups" that screw onto the posts from the front to hold the radio to the dash. These are in addition to the two silver bezel rings that go behind the knobs, so make sure that you've got all the pieces you need.

Re: original gm radio
I have all the brackets for the rear of the radio but apparently am missing the "cups" for the knobs. I have two knobs and two round discs for behind the knobs but nothing that goes in the hole and screws to the radio which I assume are the "cups". Can anyone tell me where to get these cups and maybe some chrome knobs? It came with two very loose black knobs.
Thanks guys! |
