New radio delete bling! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

doobiebro · 01-31-2014, 12:07 AM

After a year searching I found me a radio delete plate for my 60 stepper for 20 bucks on Ebay in good shape minus the surface rust on both sides... When I got my truck some PO drilled 2 extra radio knob holes..

With a little elbow grease I sand blasted and powder coated it Silver with a chrome flake... What do guys think?

Is the ashtray front chrome or just gloss black.....hard to tell with the glare from the flash.

Looks good!

Try checking the classifieds here for parts, I personally sold over a dozen radio delete plates on here over the past couple months. You shouldn't have to wait a year to find the more common items. I see them on here quite often.

I sold a forum member a 292 and 4 speed around thanksgiving for 300.00 dollars, I had no intention of EVER using either one. He had listed in his signature line he was looking for one. He told me he had been looking for 8 years!

Just sayin.... This site is awesome for information and locating parts.

Congrats on your find it looks really good on your dash.

gofastnut · 04-16-2014, 07:22 PM

Yeah, Grandpa hacked up the dash when he added a state-of-the-art 8 track player back in '71 or so....
Been kinda wondering what to do..
Your idea looks great!

You know when I got my truck it had a delete plate. But I wanted a radio and pulled it out cut a hole to fit a modern radio and now I regret it. Haha I going to get the dash repair panel from lmc and one of the modern old looking radios
