truck AM/FM or van AM/FM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i bought this radio from a boardmember, and there is some confusion if this is a real truck radio, or if it is from a van.

here is a picture please only reply if you are certain one way or another

thanks

Zach, I got a real one out in the building, I'll try to get some pics of it Sat morning. Yours looks like its real, the numbers on the dial look like truck am-fm.

I never know anything, but it does look real from the front. I think trucks had green tinted numbers, and vans had white numbers. I also think the delco was slanted on trucks and not on vans.The antenna being angled like that looks odd. If I can remember correctly, mine does not have the same antenna like that. I also looked at one on ebay today that was a van converted to look like a truck, it had the same angled antenna. I dont know how to link it, but here is the item number 280205083323. I would say you have a van radio just as the one mentioned and listed on ebay.

If anybody wants to link it, here is the ebay item nuber again 280205083323. Not sure if it helps, but it does have pictures.

Van. The antenna hole should be right behind the heat sync not under. It has truck parts up front in the face though. Use it, it works and looks the same now.

Truck prices are higher than van prices are they not?

True. If you paid up, you have a complaint.
