Trying to find a SUPER SUPER nice AM/FM radio for my 72 SUPER Project

The P/O took it out and replaced with an AM so I'm looking to restore to original. Let me know what you have and pricing. Chrome face needs to be excellent! And no van radios...needs to be a true truck radio please

still looking....

Just curious - how do you tell if the radio is from a van?

VA72C10 · 02-22-2011, 11:00 PM

I copied these pics from another thread...the antenna mount is also different but the easiest way to tell is the numbers and lens
The top picture has a van radio on the top and a real one under it. The lower two are both true truck ones....

How much are you willing to go? I got mine from this eBay seller last year. And I paid considerably more than he is asking for them now. Mine came with an NOS speaker, harness, and brackets, though. Just a thought in case someone doesn’t come through. I know it’s pricey, but keep in mind, the radio in the link has been completely restored.

Thanks for that link. I will keep it in mind if something else doesn't pan out. Have a line on one a little cheaper. going to try to get pics of it tomorrow. It's also been gone through and restored and the face is supposed to be show quality....but it's close to the ebay price which pains me to pay for a radio

And the one in the ad has some slight pitting on the face. For almost 600...I'd expect a restored face or perfect original...
