I've seen one or two pop up on eBay before. They weren't very common in the first place, and unfortunately many of the ones that were out there were cut up to put in a radio. If you found one at a yard and it's not too expensive, I'd pick it up. You could resell it on eBay, or it'd just be cool to have anyway.

Danggit! :/
It's not a friggin "radio delete bezel"! :/
It's the -real thing-!
The others have been ruined by cutting a hole in 'em for a #$%in squawk box! :/
"just a bunch of excited talk about nothin" comes out of them stinkin radios.
Whew, ok, there, I feel better now. :)

The walnut **** was purchased at the NAPA in Willcox in '75.

Shows my "new" **** that might be 20 years older than the pickup. :)
Chances are pretty good that the pickup was special ordered to -not- have a radio.
Our company trucks were that way and so was mine.

Mine has the factory A/C hole, so it's not exactly as plain (and cool!;) as you can get,
just "closer to cool" than most, is all. ;)
