AM/FM radio mounting
Does anyone know or have pics of how the factory am/fm radio mounts in our trucks to the speaker bracket? I have am radios to compare but the am/fm does not have the same little tab coming off for the support bracket.
Thanks in advance! |

Re: AM/FM radio mounting
I've never installed an AM/FM, but looking at at least on example on the bay, it looks like they should have the same or similar mounting tab on the back. They use the same speaker so I would think the mounting would be the same.

Re: AM/FM radio mounting
Solve the problem and go with a customer auto sound stereo with a dual voice coil speaker.

Re: AM/FM radio mounting
If your AM/FM does not have that tab like the AM, it must be out of a van.

Re: AM/FM radio mounting
They mount identically. Take one of the tabs from an AM radio and put it on the AM/FM. As stated previously, the radio is probably out of a van. If the antenna mount is angled on the bottom, and the Delco print is in block letters on the lens it is from a van. The station number font is also slightly different. No biggie, they have the same guts. I actually prefer the van AM/FM because the antenna is easier to plug in if you have an A/C truck.
