Original truck radio?
I am looking for an original radio for my 1987 gmc. I found this on a shelf in with a bunch of tractor parts. Any thoughts?

Re: Original truck radio?
Get it.
Wish my original had cassette. I took my original AM/FM out in the early 90's and put in a Pioneer. Over the years it has decided to work when it wants to. It will only play tapes (no radio) and the display doesn't work anymore. Been thinking about putting my original AM/FM radio back in and hooking up an AUX input to it. |

I used to have a White Halftrack, an M16. Had an M2 Autocar & an M15 Diamond T. Glad those beasts went to live someplace else!

Re: Original truck radio?
On old radios there is an adjustment to "Trim" the antenna to the radio for optimum reception, has to do with different antenna lengths.
There will be a small slotted screw someplace on the radio body below the skin in a hole. It most likely will have a sticker over it denoting it as such. With the radio warmed up & on the AM dial set the tuner close to, oh crap brain fart- I think a 1600 station & adjust the screw for optimum strength & crispness to the ear! ![]() I'll have to check on the optimum station setting I have an old AM/FM 8 Track up in the barn that should have a sticker on it. People say it has no effect on FM reception but it can't hurt! Update!- I can't find my radio, son n law says I sold it at Pate last spring. Can't believe I'd do that!

I spent 4 years pulling trailers for an agricultural business with a reg cab 4x4 I think one ton with a 6.2 diesel in the early 90s. I loved that truck. Manual tranny. Never lacked for power and I loved that when I lowered a trailer on it it never sank like the others in the fleet. Wasn’t fast but slow and steady wins. Yes my handle is for a 1941 White halftrack. It is an m2. Posted via Mobile Device |
