Hey guys does anyone have one they would like to sell? 1951 F-1...Or maybe a better idea to cover up the radio spot? Thank you

 

I have the same problem with my 51. I see them on e-bay sometimes but they sell for more then i want to pay, radio or cover plate. The cover plates were more used in the bigger trucks i would guess,so if you saw one in your area it might pay to check it out. The passenger car radio will fit from one of the years ,but i don't know which one.

 

49-50, and maybe even from a 51, car radio is the same as the 51-52 truck radio. I have a few of those radio delete plates, but the trouble is having to find them in the mound of vast amount of parts stored inside many storage totes. However, I'm slowly working on that task.

 

Hey Canadian Diesel,
That's a tricky one - We used the space for a glaring ommission
in our trucks. Our's is a 1950 F1 - had a plate welded into that space
& took some cupholders from an old Saab to put in there.

Wow thanx for the answers guys...looks like maybe an old radio might be better . That's a sweet cup holder set up!

 

I have this radio for sale if you're interested. Needs ***** and repair work to the bezel. Radio doesn't work.

 

Our radio is in the glovebox & the amp & speakers are under the seats.
Keeps the old dash look but you get modern Kenwood radio set up - My 19 year old son was very interested in having the ability to play his Ipod music in the truck. I think he would have shot me if I showed up with the 1950 radio - some times you have to bend to modern conveniences like cupholders, radios, & A/C. Just my take - don't shoot me.

Wow Ben! I saw those lines in your dash from another pic earlier at some point,
That is really cool! Great idea! I love to see creativeness put to good use!
That's talent right there, no doubt!

 

thank you 51panel for that nice offer...I think if push comes to shove I will wait and see what comes up on ebay or locally. I guess I have my mind set on a delete plate...thank you..G in Canada

 

I have one you can have,I have never shipped to canada tho.
Tips anyone?

 

woahh thats awesome....let me at least give you something for it...drop me an email.. wagsdecloux@execulink.com thank you!!!

 

It's just like mailing anywhere. You put it in a box and take it to the post office. Postage will be a little extra and you may have to fill out a customs form declaring what's in the box, but that's it. A radio plate should fit in one of those small usps priority mail boxes. That makes life really easy.

 

Is this it?
