Re: Original Am/FM Radio
It was an option on 71/72's and maybe earlier I'm not 100% on that. The reason I asked for a picture is because there is a modern reproduction AM/FM made that si supposed to look exactly like the original but has Bluetooth plus a built in microphone so you can stream your music or take calls on your smartphone.

Re: Original Am/FM Radio
The true factory am/fm truck radio became a factory option in the '71 model forward thru the '72 model. Option # U69, total FACTORY installed am/fm radios for the first year option was 5,282 units. This from my "Chevrolet Pickup Red Book information. There is a close resemblance am/fm VAN radio from that era but it has a different font on the front panel. Will mount the same and same function but not factory correct. The original truck am/fm radios are somewhat hard to find and a bit spendy when you do find them. I have one in my '71 4x4 I found at a swap meet and purchased for $230. Took another $250 to have it restored to working order. Lot of $$ for a radio true but being a somewhat rare option it was what I wanted for the truck. Same as me adding factory tilt, factory tow hooks, factory tach, 4 core radiator to my truck. It's only money, LOL.

Re: Original Am/FM Radio
I -think- this is an original case with digital guts. Either way it's not "original" but should appear darn close to it.... except the originals would say "Delco" in the bottom right I think.

Re: Original Am/FM Radio
Just a plug here for a good, related product. Greg owner of s/m Electrotech in MN sells USA made replacement speakers for 67-72 pickups and another for use on double wall k5s, which used a speaker mounted below the dash. Greg also restores automotive radios. http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm

Re: Original Am/FM Radio
I realize this is an old thread, but does anyone know if you can buy a reproduction chrome faceplate/ bezel for a factory AM/FM radio? I have one from a van, which uses the same piece, but the chrome is trashed, and I found out, it is actually broken. I know some of the aftermarket ones use what looks like a reproduction bezel.
