I think they are pretty rare nowdays. Most of them have been cut up, or thrown away due to radios being added.


My 1973 with the radio delete did not have a delete plate however. The delete plate was incorporated into the instrument cluster bezel itself.

What is the part number on the plate may I ask? I have one or two floating around here myself.

Then it would be extremely rare, as that would be a "factory radio delete" bezel.

"Dealer" radio delete plates just covered up the radio hole as example.

There are a number of bezels out there that have the radio holes in them so you don't have to cut up the one you have. I wouldn't cut out the hole in yours. Maybe try to sell it and get yourself one with a hole.
