Neat old aftermarket piece. You don't see too many universal radios anymore. Who made it? Several OEM working AMs are going for $20 to $50 right now on E-bay. Looks cool without the GM tho.

oldblue1968chevy · 02-01-2009, 08:32 PM

any ideas how to make it fit into my uncut dash...thinkin bout some kinda bezel for dash glovebox guage bezel..

**1970cstblazer** · 02-01-2009, 09:40 PM

Looks like it will fit the original opening..

tcb-1 · 02-01-2009, 09:41 PM

You will need to repair the radio area with an original section before installing that radio. Sorry.

Somebody actually sells the repair panels - maybe Brother's? I know I have seen them before.
