Thanks...but will an Impala or Chevelle radio of the same year fit our opening? I would love to have a wonderbar radio, but not sure about the size needed for the opening.

Holy Mother of God!!!
$645 for the radio conversion?? That’s insane!

EDIT: Ok, am I over-reacting? Maybe this is a reasonable price for what you’re getting. I guess I was just hoping for a less expensive alternative.
I guess, if you want the latest technology in an old radio, you gotta pay the big bucks.

Re: 1963 radio - try and fix or replace?

Maybe the conversion seems high but what isn't. I'd still rather have a conversion than the cheap aftermarket junk that doesn't look close to original.
Go buy a new truck and spec out all the options. Who can justify $60,000 plus for a truck? Prices are insane!
What amazes me, is the price of a 10 to 15 year old truck with 200,000 miles. Most are $10,000 plus!

Good point. Can’t believe how much trucks go for now, I don’t think you can’t buy a new truck for less than $45K!

I've used these before, it's nice to have Bluetooth access and able to use your phone. Put the overpriced overlay on the screen and it looks original when the radio is off.
