homemade radio delete - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

retodd7711 · 01-22-2008, 03:23 AM

It's too cold to play outside today, so I had a bunch of inside projects to do.As I was cleaning up the shop I came across some leftover oak trim, some numbers from clock kits we made for Christmas presents and I decided to make a radio delete plate. I stuck it on with double sided tape. How's it look?

Looks pretty good!!

Time well spent!

Looks good

wibilly · 01-22-2008, 05:27 AM

looks good but wouldbe even nicer if you take the time to radius the corners to match the indent in the dash

Not my style.. but i agree round the corners off, and spray some blue candy over it

When I bought my truck the knob holes were a little boogered up & they had a plate bolted in behind it so it left four bolt holes. I made this cover & just used the holes that the PO drilled. Nothing wrong with making your own...

It looks 100% better than a big hole in the dash! Is your cluster silver? Got a pic of it?

Made one out of stainless applied with d/s tape.

Looks fine, i would have welded up the holes to make it look like stock trucks that had no radio

Stock trucks that had no radios had radio delete plates over the holes...

here's some pics of the cluster.
I couldn't find turquoise paint, but the blue adds a neat touch.
My son painted this as ahigh school art project.
