Anyone have a pic or info of a AM/FM/CB gm radio - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Guy I'm talking with says he has a rare AM/FM/CB all in one radio for a 75 gmc 3/4 ton. He says its GM brand, just never heard of one. Anyone have any info on something like this?? Or am i just a squirrel that found a nut??

Yes they put them in some vehicles back in the day. They are a gm product

Here is a pic of a 78 (I didn't think the triband was availbe in 75, but what do I know).

If it is a radio built prior to 1977, it will only have 23 channels.

Are they worth anything??

well i know that from past experience with cadis and this used to be an option in the old dodge trucks that the cb part would break and not work right.. i also know you need a special antenna for that radio that uses the regular mast to get the cb channels so unless its a complete set working i dont think id think its worth that much

**tkeduk8r** · 08-22-2008, 11:31 PM

sorry man.. I checked.. no pics... but I did take it out complete, antenna, booster box behind the glove box, harness... everything.... but its buried in storage at this point.. sorry man...

They came with an antenna that was multi use and it sucked. If you put an aftermarket CB antenna on it they worked pretty good. Not as powerful as a dedicated CB, but not bad. You could always add a linear amplifier if you want some real power.

I had a 1983 Oldsmobile 98 that had one (finally sold that pice of sh#t). It (the car and the radio) wasn't one of GM's better ideas. As far as it being rare, I don't know how many of our trucks had them, but plenty of other vehicles did. AND THEY ALL SUCKED!

My 78 Corvette originally had one installed, too. I got it in a box, and it stayed that way.
