Radio *****
74 F100 Custom
I have two sets of radio *****. Both sets are identical except one set is all chrome and one set has black in the middle of the *****. I'm guessing the black middle are correct as they match my wiper and headlight ****.
So what do the all chrome ***** go to? Identical but with no black. Different F100 trim line? I'd like to find a home for these.

On parts like this you may be surprised at the price. On obsolete parts some dealers actually discount below what they originally paid for the part, others will rip you off charging a ungodly price. You gotta call around.
These parts have been sitting on the shelf for years and were written off years ago. Anything the dealer sells it for is 100% profit. This, of course doesn't apply to obsolete suppliers.
Also, technically, the ***** aren't chrome plated. The process is called vacuum metalizing and involves vaporized aluminum.
