Next time you go to a car/truck show take a look see. They are out there but you gotta' do some lookin' Check what a TRUE am/fm goes for on eBay or here on the board when they do come up for sale.

ok.. if shows are your bag,,
I'd rather drive and be able to sick a c/d or i pod on when every channel is ad's..
good luck with it.. to each their own..

Shows aren't " my bag " as you put it but I do like to find and install hard to locate original options as I am able. My truck also did not have a rear cargo light which I installed along with moving the in cab fuel tank to under the bed and then utilizing that space made available for the cab corner speaker brackets offered by bigblock73. Will also be installing an am/fm/cd/cassette underdash Sanyo deck to get away from all ad's you mentioned. This will hook to a pair of Pioneer 150 watt tri-axial 6x9's in the corners and a pair of
5 1/4 Polk 100 watt co-axials up front. Of course in-between ad's I do listen to the local FM rock station which plays 60's, 70's and early 80's rock. I even on occasion listen to the news as it in one way or the other has an effect on our daily lives. Like you said "to each his own"

the stations up here play way tomany ads, last night, the 4 channels that I tune into the most where all playing ads at the same time, they are getting smarter, know'n your gonna tune to another during the ad's so they started all play'n the ads at the same time..
royal p.i.t.a. and it's not one or two it's 3 or 4 then the "we'll be back in 60 seconds or less" then another one or two..
besides corporate radio sucks,, I'm guess'n that there was more than 200 songs recorded between the 60-70's , but they play the same dam ones..
