Radio cutout repair
The 85 Chevy is at the body shop getting the butchered radio opening repaired to receive my ebay stock am/fm stereo radio .

Re: Radio cutout repair
It's been there nearly 7 days for what they said was about a 3 hour job , they must be back logged , I think I am getting separation anxiety .

Re: Radio cutout repair
This is the one thing I wish I could un-do. I cut my dash 5 years ago when my original radio went out. wanted a CD player. Now I would love to have that classic radio look back. Worst part is I butchered up a perfect condition silverado bezel, the aftermarket ones are $300.

Re: Radio cutout repair
I am the type of guy that has no interest in stereos , all I need is am/fm an aux input would be nice though , as to speakers I don't care , my 2004 Silverado just has the stock am/fm radio .

Re: Radio cutout repair
Mine was already cutout, If I had a virgin dash I think I would pony up the dough for a factory unit with modern amenities.

Re: Radio cutout repair
I would never cut my own dashes up, but many of the ones I've owned already were and I just lived with it. Although, I always like to prod buddies that are big into stereo systems with "Those that can't build nice sounding engines install stereos".

Re: Radio cutout repair
I. Had to take the truck back from the shop as they could not work on it for some reason , now I have an appointment with another shop next Thursday , I just checked my ebay radio and it works great other than the light bulb was burned out so I replaced the bulb .

Re: Radio cutout repair
I fixed my 78 with a carefully trimmed donor piece and some small screws.
