Smile Delco Radio Question

I am looking at installing an AM/FM radio in the place of the AM one in my 1967 C10. It is a radio from a 1970 C10 and will fit with no issues. My question is, will I need any other equipment to hook it up and get it working?
Thanks,
Guy

Re: Delco Radio Question

Your existing speaker connection will fit the AM/FM Radio and so will the brackets.

You should be set.

Jim,
Thanks for the information. Do you know if the original AM antenna will work with the AM/FM radio also?

Re: Delco Radio Question

Yes it will work fine. I believe the optimum length for FM reception is a 30" high antenna.

Whatever the differences are between the two antennas does not seem to affect our radios as I have used both on FM radios.
