I have never seen any ford truck like that in my whole life, are you sure it was an option or something someone just cobbled in there ?

I have an old ad for the "New 1980 F-Series" that listed an 8-track player as optional, so I know they had them sometime.

8 tracks were around in the mid 60s are you sure they were still around in 80?

The answer to the question is the '69-'70 Ford Galaxie/LTD had the radio mounted on the drivers left,(left of the steering column)I believe that both ***** were on the left side as well, your unit being an 8 Track I believe is rare, is it just AM with tape, or AM/FM? if it works well I'd try & find someone that is restoring a Galaxie, or LTD & sell it to them, rather than trying to rig it into a Ford truck. -Supercab

Thanks guys i didn't know what it came out of i found it in a junk yard on one of there shelf's . I thought it was kind of odd that the ***** were on the left side . It has the ford stamped on it . This junk yard has got about a hundred radios that they have ignored for years . There is even radios dating back to the 40's & 50's I'm still digging to see what other parts he has . Again Thanks
