Factory '71/72 AM/FM radio question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I got a factory AM/FM radio for my '71. It works sometimes, but best when I stopped at a light or sitting in a parking lot. Though, even then the radio signal really doesn't come in all that great, and I'm not getting a lot of radio stations that I could with a newer (still old) sanyo tape deck FM radio. I am using factory everything, except the speaker.

So my question is; is there anything that you would suggest for me to do in order for me to get better signal with this old radio other than having it sent in and rebuilt?

Thanks guys.
