Another radio delete bezel
I found this the other day while looking through some F600-F700's in the yard and had to have it.
If you guys know me, I'm a no frills, bare bones type of guy and thought this would be cool in one of my trucks. For now, I stuck it in Project Flareside and just wanted to let you guys know that these were out there.
One of these days I'm going to take some pictures of all of the different bezels available and post them up.
Maybe they'll even throw it in the new and improved sticky section!

While were on this topic, anybody got pictures of what the stock radios looked like in the dash?? I sold the aftermarket Pioneer radio in my 81 to a friend of mine, think I'm going to try to replace it with the original, or at least a manual radio that'll look more natural in a truck this age...

Yep, I have just about every bezel ever made and can hook you up.
If you want to see a factory DIN radio and bezel, take a look in my gallery. There are a couple pics of my interior there with a restored dash.
I'd post a pic, but I'm on my iPhone and I can't copy and paste the link.

Alot of the big F600's and 700's had them.I'm not sure if the Smaller F-Series even came with them.I've never seen them in any truck except for F6 and 700's.And Stosh is a lucky man.I've never seen an F600 or an F700 in any junkyard I go to.I have had to replace the driver's side window in one before,as well as a rusty vent window.I got both out of a Bronco.Worked just fine.

I've made that observation before. How else is he gonna spend time here though, I think he only leaves the salvage yard long enough to feed.

I already got that covered too (food). I carry a shoulder bag with an assortment of tools and in one of the pockets a big bag of M&M's with Almonds.
Plus, there is a roach coach right outside the gate that has cold drinks and makes a pretty mean grilled chicken gyro.

The Black Mesh weave Factory radio delete ones for the pickups are identicle, except 1980-1981's have "CUSTOM" written where the "FORD" is, and the 1982-1984's are blank. Factory Radio delete is very rare on pickups, and not so rare at all on the Medium duty. There is a dealer delete panel, that attaches to the existing radio bezel as well.
As for the different type of radios installed.
1980-1984 used **** and shaft style radios. and came in the following...
1. AM-Only
2. AM-FM monural
3. AM-FM Stereo
4. AM-FM, MPX Tape, "8-track"
5. AM-FM, Compact Cassette
1984.5-1986 used DIN style radios.
1. AM-Only
2. AM-FM monural
3. AM-FM Stereo
4. AM-FM, Compact Cassette
5. AM-FM, Electronic Radio
