Wtb Decent 71-72 Factory Am/fm Radio - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**kna4977** · 11-16-2006, 11:55 PM

I'm looking for a decent looking factory AM/FM radio for a 67-72 truck. It doesn't have to work, just look good. Basically I need a decent core, so that I can send it off and get it upgraded with today's components. If you can help me, please let me know. thanks

Bob Moore · 11-18-2006, 08:09 PM

Wow. You have been on the hunt for sometime now. Here's a TTT.

**kna4977** · 11-18-2006, 08:31 PM

What's a TTT?

**kna4977** · 11-18-2006, 08:32 PM

I'd give $200 for a decent core, or $600 for one that has been updated. Any leads??

71jimmy · 11-18-2006, 09:08 PM

There is a guy on evilbay periodiaclly that sells updated radios. I think they go in the 5-600 dollar range. Keep a lookout there.

**kna4977** · 11-18-2006, 09:19 PM

I would give $5-600 for a decent upgraded radio, but would like to stay away from e-bay if at all possible. If anyone has any leads outside of e-bay, let me know. thanks

71jimmy · 11-18-2006, 09:19 PM

Check out this thread, if you haven't already, Lazyguard has a radio for sale.

Let me see if I can dig another one out for you. I've got 10 or so of them hidden away.

**kna4977** · 11-18-2006, 11:08 PM

Let me know what you have and what you want for it, preferably with pics, and hopefully we can make a deal. thanx

Bob Moore · 11-18-2006, 11:45 PM

One just turned up on Ebay if you are still looking.

nyncompute · 11-19-2006, 11:01 AM

Thats an AM only, but the conversion outfits can make them an AM / FM with the modern components.

**PICKMUP** · 11-19-2006, 07:00 PM

If 1badss has 10 am/fm radios, there is no need for me to go looking for the one I have.

Huck · 11-19-2006, 08:09 PM

Have a nice original working AM/FM truck radio. Chrome is nice as is the dial. For this week only, I will include an original radio harness in excellent condition. $350. shipped to your door, insured.
Buying a shell and having it update to newer technology---it's still just a raido, no CD capability, that's why most guys put a am/fm in the dash and a High powered Stereo AM/FM/CD/Satellite/etc. in the Glove Box or even better yet, the CONSOLE!!

**kna4977** · 11-22-2006, 10:51 AM

Does anyone have any leads on any leads on any radio restoration shops that restore these, or specialize in these?

72swbcamo · 11-22-2006, 11:59 AM

Look in Hemmigs. There are several radio restoration outfits in there.

I almost never listen to CD's b/c I usually put XM radio in all my vehicles. That's why I'm interested in having it updated with today's technology so I can transmit from the XM tuner to the radio then through the speakers.

This one is $250 + $20 s/h.
