Watch out for this thief...

Ebay item # 310086294251

I had already contacted this guy twice about this radio (73-79, not 71/72). He refuses to change the ad description. 73-79 radios are abundant, 71/72 AM/FM's aren't. He knows the difference because he sold a real 71/72 radio a while back and knows the value. I also gave him the correct part numbers to tell the difference. Don't be fooled by this thief.

 

Did it come out of a purple truck?

Might be worth millions.

 

OH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!! that was way too funny!

but to the OP - how can you tell the diff from a 68-72 and a 73-79??

 

This is a factory '71/'72 AM/FM radio...


This is not...

 

Many of these 1973/79 radios will have PHILCO marked on the dial instead of Ford.

The face and ***** of these radios is exactly the same for 1973/79 trucks and most of the 1973/79 cars.

The face and ***** are the same. The actual chassis is not, so car radios will not work in trucks.

 

Just for giggles, was the AM the only option in 67?

My radio is long gone, but I still have the faceplate....

 

yeah i got my faceplate some where from my 70, my 69 i cut to put in a newer style radio.....lame i know but i was young then...but i mean they are not even close to the same, i would think that someone who wanted an OEM radio would know the difference, at lest i would hope so.

 

Yes, prior to '73 the only years am/fm was offered in a pick-up was '71 and '72.

Bill will be all over me in a second if I'm wrong...

 

Thanks, I thought that was the case, but thoguth I'd make sure. In the 71-2s I assume that they had speakers in the doors?(since its stereo.)
I know the Dents had the holes in the doors even if you didn't get the deluxe stereo radio.

Yes, factory speakers were in the doors.

 

there was a thread about welding up door speaker holes (aftermarket ones) and it had a picture of OEM (or said to be) door speakers....

 

We already discussed this.

I marked the day down on a calendar, cuz you proved me wrong...and I don't make too many mistakes.

You convinced me that Ford did offer AM/FM radios for F100/350's in 1971/72 by giving me the chassis ID number.

I crossed those number over...the radio is listed, but the radio listings in the parts catalog doesn't say AM/FM. Just the part numbers are listed

Door speakers; Y'all know of course that not only are the speakers the same as 1969/70 Mustangs, but so are the grilles.

Brady...you are living in a dream world if you think most peeps know what these AM/FM radios look like. Most prolly don't even know they existed.

Very few AM/FM's were sold, and prolly half the peeps on FTE weren't even born yet when these trucks were new, so they couldn't waltz on down to their local dealer and see one.

I know of one member that fits this description...

btw: Every week it seems, someone asks what the difference is between 1967/69 grilles.

If they can't tell the difference in the grilles, how the hell will they know what a rare AM/FM radio looks like?

 

I meant that I may have been wrong about the first time the am/fm was offered in a truck...

 

I know exactly what you meant.

When we discussed this before...I was wrong...because I said there's no such thing as an AM/FM radio before 1973.

Dunno about 1968/69.

There wasn't an AM/FM offered in 1967, that I know for sure.

The AM radio used in 1967...is 1967 only, it will not fit a 1968 or later because Ford changed the mounting plate and the radio bezel in 1968.

1967's also have a different heater system.

1967's have a one year only dash...and the doors are 1967 only.

 

O.K. I didn't recall exactly how it went.

Geez..................so much for MY memory
