My `56 has the radio turner but no power unit. if anyone has one or knows where to get on please let me know.

 

just watch out..... 1956 is a 12 volt system, 1953-1955 used the 6 volt.

 

Thanks, I`m aware. I guess no can help with any info on `56 truck radio power units. Gusso

 

Try Sacramento Vintage Ford Parts, or Hemmings Motor News. You can run want ads, but it's tough to find the "brain box" without the head/dial and speaker.

Most want to sell the entire unit.

There's a radio maven in Fresno that sells at swap meets, and runs ads in Hemmings...I forget his name.

 

Thanks NumberDummy. I`d be happy to buy "brain box" and tuner as one unit. Haven`t got a Hemmings, but I`ll surely get one. Also I live in Sacramento so I`ll check with Vintage Ford. Thanks for the info. Gusso

 

Gusso,
I have the same exact situation with my 56. I've looked everywhere, and constantly search ebay. I met a guy on this forum that had one last fall from a parts truck he bought, but when he noticed my enthusiasm after he offered to sell it to me, I guess he decided he would make a better profit on ebay. I'm still looking though, let me know if you come up with anything, good luck!,

Mike

 

I have the radio "brain box" out of my '56 big window. $100 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

 

There is a guy on Ebay selling a 56 radio vibrator (atleast he says its a 56)
Item number: 260084084423

 

Thanks rod4life, I`ll check it out. Gusso

 

eberhama, Thought I had better get this on thread for all to see. I just looked at your gallery, and must say your work is superbeb! You are going to be the proudest `56 big window owner on the planet when your finished. Trouble is don`t know of anyone truly finished. Hope all your F-100 dreams come true. GUSSO

 

Thanks for the kind words. I guess its been awhile since I updated my gallery, my other '56 big window isn't even on there yet.
