factory radio? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

75Chevy90Kawi · 10-03-2006, 08:25 PM

i remember a while ago i saw a link on here for factory looking radios for all makes models and years of cars. does anyone have this link? the PO put a cd player in where the radio was, and when i replace the dash i want to put a factory looking radio back in and then put the cd player in the glove box and just use a remote control

mySAVIOReigns · 10-03-2006, 08:35 PM

You want mine? It's a little dirty, but it can be cleaned up. All original

6772fan · 10-03-2006, 09:29 PM

Put me in line as interested in your original radio if he passes on it. Got a 79 with AM radio that doesn't work. Is your radio functional?

bigblock73 · 10-03-2006, 09:41 PM

I think you are looking for a Custom Autosound radio...right? DO a Google search and you will find them. I have heard not-so-good reviews on them however, so do your homework before you fork over the money.

I myself will be bringing a newer model AM/FM ('78 model I believe) to a local audio shop and having all new modern guts put in it. It will look and feel like an old radio, but sound MUCH better. Depending on cost, I also want to have the ability to run a CD changer off of it...so we'll see.

**tkeduk8r** · 10-03-2006, 09:44 PM

Jeff... where are you planning on having it done??? sent you a pm...

86swb · 10-03-2006, 09:47 PM

Yes, I would also like to know who does this.

bigblock73 · 10-03-2006, 09:50 PM

A friend of mine told me about the place, but I can't remember for the life of me...I'll get in touch with him tomorrow and find out.

Mike, got your PM, sending one back in a few.

75Chevy90Kawi · 10-03-2006, 10:29 PM

mysavior, that's the place! and you've got a PM on your radio

**Captkaos** · 10-04-2006, 02:52 PM

http://www.customautosound.com/ is the maker.
I can get them for you through one of my suppliers if you are interested.

Found the other link..
Here is where you can send off an old radio and have it converted...

worked here too i think it is a great idea. Also did they cut the metal part of the dash to instal the cd like they did on mine. If so it might not hold the original right

low sierra · 10-04-2006, 08:19 PM

http://taymanelectrical.com also does conversions and is a dealer for custome autosonds.

75Chevy90Kawi · 11-20-2006, 08:00 PM

i never got a message back from mysaviorreigns, so i'm still looking for a good price on a nice factory radio!!! email me at phattystratman@msn.com, pm me, post here, whatever... i'm looking to get started on putting this together!

lurch115 · 11-20-2006, 09:48 PM

want the one out of my '87?? its a pretty nice factory radio...has bass and treble adjusters on it....and i'm sure it would wire in the same

75Chevy90Kawi · 11-20-2006, 10:12 PM

do you have any pictures of it? did the radios change much between these years?

75Chevy90Kawi · 05-03-2007, 06:53 PM

still looking for a radio...

ron350 · 05-03-2007, 08:18 PM

Are you looking for one like this?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Delco...09187781QQrdZ1

Or one like this which uses the flop down cassette mechanism that I will no longer work on.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vinta...25343882QQrdZ1

Delco also made a digital cassette radio that will fit in a 1975. The junkyard called them Cadillac radios but the Cadillac radio had longer stems for the knobs. I have not seen one of these in a long time and can’t find one on ebay.

Disclaimer: These ebay links are for the picture only I know nothing about the radio or seller.
I am new here and don’t want to get in trouble.

75Chevy90Kawi · 05-03-2007, 09:47 PM

honestly, i dont know what radio came stock. i'd prefer whatever radio came stock in a 75 silverado, but i don't know which one it is. the PO took the radio out, hacked the dash and put in a cd player, but i'm buying a new deck and mounting it in the glove box so i need to make a bezel or a plate to re-mount a stock radio as the opening is too big now

if anyone could grab a pic, part # or whatever of the correct radio that would be much appreciated as well

Jeff--if you can get an ipod adapter or mp3 connection I highly reccommend it over the changer. I have one in my Burb and it's the best thing ever. just my opinion. . .
