It just seemed right... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

All his life, my Grandpa Gipe was a member of a church that did not allow him to have a television or a radio. As a result, he had the dealership remove the radio from his new truck in 1970 when he purchased it. Against all odds, the man who owned it for the 26-year span between Grandpa and I kept BOTH the original invoice AND the blanking plate with digital clock he installed in place of the radio.
I had a few minutes this evening, and decided it should be put back to its original state - just as I remember it. So I pulled the radio and installed the clock. I can't believe it still works 50 years later. 🙂
