I know in Colorado when you sign over a title it has a place for the od reading and you sign off on it as being original mileage, or beyond mechanical limits, or unknown mileage. I really don't think they care in less you are selling one and saying it has only 49,000 original miles and it is indeed has 452,000. I think the law was to keep people (mainly dealers) from ripping off someone telling that the miles are a lot lower that the really are, but how would most people really know. If you checked off unknown you would have no liability for the mines shown. I don't think anyone would have a problem in less you told the buyer that it was low and they could prove it was not or altered and wanted to press it.

I've got three '73-'74 AM/FM stereo's all work. One is original to my truck, the other two I bought, one for $20 and the second one for $10. All three are in excellent condition.
Personal opinion, they're nice to have for a restoration but not particularly rare, and unless you're doing a restoration not particularly desirable.

Wanted: AM/FM Radio for 73-79 F-Series/Bronco

Hi.... I have a 77' F-100 which actually didn't come with a radio so I'm looking to add a AM/FM original. Anyone out there looking to off load a spare?

My 1972 has a Factory AM/FM stereo. Those are more rare. These didn't have the slide for the balance underneath.

These have a engineering number starting prefix of D1TF.

Be aware that a lot of unscrupulous people try to pawn off the car radios as fitting in 1973-1979 trucks. Check the engineering number Prefix on the radio. It should start with something like:

D3TF
D4TF
D5TF
D6TF
D7TF
D8TF
D9TF

If the prefix starts with:

D3AF
D4AF
D5AF
D6AF
D7AF
D8AF
D9AF
E0AF
E1AF
E2AF
E3AF
E4AF
E1TF
E2TF
E3TF
E4TF

Then it's either a car radio, or it came out of a 80's truck that won't work or fit in your dash. They look almost the same though so be carefull.

There are a lot of people selling the 1973-1979 truck radios for premium prices because the fit in the older mustangs. This is just dishonest. The face plates are different, and at car shows the unsuspecting owners will get docked points. Sometimes costing them 1st prize.

Same thing with the 80's pickup radios. They fit in 70's mustangs, so jack up the price. It's Dishonest.

Buyer beware, especially on ebay.
