I've never seen one like that before in any of the sales literature. I'd guess that its an after market product.

shaneschevys · 01-11-2006, 02:48 AM

That looks like a radio out of a 64-66 chevy.

Americanrider · 01-11-2006, 03:56 AM

Those are older knobs....

toms68cst · 01-11-2006, 09:11 AM

The only overhead consoles in our year's trucks were for the larger HD trucks or cab overs.

1971LT1SWBPOSI373 · 01-11-2006, 09:24 AM

That looks mid 60'vintage... Somebody selling something again that doesn't know for sure what it is. Stay away from it. 67-72 cars and trucks had the push button radio's already.

I remember seeing the same thing in a junk yard a while back. IIRC it was in a 65 or 66.

**truckdude239** · 01-11-2006, 10:17 AM

looks pretty cool i'd like to have one and mount a cd player or cb in it but not at that price

**JQ-72** · 01-11-2006, 11:20 AM

I just saw this listed in a GMC service bulletin. It is correct for 67-68 larger and tilt cab trucks.

Please include a link - I'd like to check it out.

bummer, i just PM'd him for a link but he's off line now.

If anyone finds that auction, can they send me a link?

demi · 01-11-2006, 12:19 PM

Here's a scan with that overhead console. This is from a 69 custom features book.

I'd be interested in that link as well.

**JQ-72** · 01-12-2006, 03:41 PM

Sorry I couldn't get a link - I got online briefly yesterday morning before work and didn't check back in 'till last night. Anyway, here's a picture of the overhead radio. This is for a 1966 model - I thought it was later until I checked the date on the bulletin ??

Well there is a first time for everything Gump. Thats the first I have ever heard of that.

mburgert · 01-13-2006, 10:21 PM

Yea my dad has one of these in his 1967 GMC Grain Truck. Another funny option that truck has is the v6 351. I remember he had that thing rebuilt like 10 years ago and it cost quite alot.

cypress TX 72 · 01-13-2006, 10:26 PM

That's Pretty cool, I bet every judge in America would count off for that - you'd have to have the option sheet on the seat for them to see.
