Re: radio delete plate
It has been about the chase for me..It started as something I had wanted in my 72 build..Just so happened the first guy I called said $75 and would not budge,(I did not buy that one)...,I went to a couple spots the first weekend and picked up 3 for free.,that sparked my interest...so ebay,parts board,swap meets,junk yards....

Re: radio delete plate
When I first got my truck I took the delete plate off to install a radio. I almost threw it out since I didn't have any use for it. Now I'm glad I kept it. Not sure for what but after what I've read here, they're higly desirable. Not valuable but hard to come by.
It seems to me that someone with a little ability could easily replicate these with aluminum stock or sheet metal. |

One method I thought of (I lost my clips) was to glue rubber plugs that would fit tightly in the knob holes. Never could find the plugs though. |

Re: radio delete plate
I've seen them made with aluminum sheet using hardwood form blocks and a 3 ton press. After painting you can't tell them apart from the original looking from the front.

Re: radio delete plate
Let me figure out if I can do the lip 1st... I'm thinking I may use a 2part epoxy and attach a magnet to the backside of the stainless steel and use that to make it stick to the dash ... ( fingers crossed)

Re: radio delete plate
I need one if someone is not hoarding and wants to help a fellow trucker. Let me know by PM your price, condition, etc.--inc. shipping to 27028. They are long gone from wreckers around here. Thanks!

Re: radio delete plate
I could swear I saw these offered in LMC.
Are they hard to repop? At work we have two Amada one Prima and two Bystronic press breaks. Should be easy to form. As I read it they aren't value able which would explain why they aren't made and its the clips that are hard to find. Hmmmm. I have a few in the shop I just never thought about this. I'm not offering them up for sale nor do I want to (please no PMs) I have seen more than one member hoarding these. Every time they pop up on the board the same guys buy em. I like that collection. Not for the part but for the shades of paint. Cheers!
