LOL. A fair amount of country, Mexican stuff, and if you're an extreme right wing republican there's a ton. Actually, AM radio stations tend to travel the furthest. My grandpa was an engineer that did some sort of radar work in WWII. He used to say that AM radio waves at night time would travel extremely far. Not sure if it is because of the sun not blocking the transmission or what, but he used to pull in Los Angeles radio stations at night from Salt Lake

Yeah, I could do a fancy radio and speakers, but I don't want to, for the same reason I don't want a clock in my truck. I just want that timeless look and feel

No offense Mister-B, not sure what that comment has to do with the thread. I don't consider my self extreme right wing but I do listen to some of this talk radio.

Oh, relax. Someone questioned if there is anything to listen to. I answered with several examples. I guess country listeners and Mexicans should get offended too?

I didn't say I was offended. I said there was no need to mention that. If you read my post above I also answered with a few examples but didn't resort to stereotyping.

And by the way, I'm of Mexican heritage and listen to country. I didn't take offense to that part either.

Ok, well... I guess we're all good, except for you have your opinion that it wasn't necessary. Fair enough

That's nice. I couldn't have gotten away with using this though, since the holes on mine were widened at one point for an aftermarket radio. The knobs on the stock radio are a bid wider, and cover it up for me. I also didn't want to spend $200-$300 on a radio, but it's definitely a great option if you want a stock type look, with better sound
