new dash & receiver

I just installed my new Dash with Dolphin gauges and a new Pioneer receiver in my 49 F1. The gauge panel and frame for the receiver were made by Raceway Mfg in Ormond Beach, Fl for me.

I'd say one of these chrome radio filler plates would fit perfect above the new stereo, fill the hole and look great.

That receiver looks more like a TV. I'm still playin' cassette tapes. Maybe I should upgrade someday. I still have a few 8 tracks left too. Oh well. The new one looks very nice though. I think the chrome cover would set it off nicely.

...I'm glad I'm not the only one....

The truck is coming along nicely. Good job on getting the dash situated.
I agree about the chrome radio delete plate. Theat should finish it off nicely

I think the LMC catalog on page 51. Not sure about the black paint on it though.
