Wow :eek:

Yikes, it would be extremely interesting to see what that thing would fetch on ebay.

SICK~!:gmc:

WOW, I THINK YOU JUST USED UP ABOUT 5 YEARS WORTH OF BEING GOOD ON ONE CHRISTMAS. CONGRADULATIONS AND SENT YOU PM.

DOWNTOWN

SCORE!
now you need a casette adapter into the 8-track, and then a CD adapter into the casette adapter and your walk man on the seat and you'll be set!
J/K, that is an awsome score though.

Seah20s,
Where in the world did you find that?????? Do they have any more?? Sent you an e-mail & PM!
Thanks

Yeah where'd you get that sweet looking gem?!!!

The answer will make ya sick...
 

I rec'd a call from a friend of a friend that was a parts manager at a GM dealership in the 70's-80's. It seams that whenever GM discontinued anything or changed #'s, he was responsible for taking the remaining items off the shelf and...Destroying!...them.
However , some items were thankfully placed gingerly into the dumpster and retrieved later ,away from the prying eyes of the executives. This was one such piece ,and sadly so ,the only radio. I did ask if he had any 8 tracks and he did not.He does have sheetmetal but is holding onto it for timebeing.I do not know what exact pieces he has as he did not offer a viewing.
I know I got lucky on the price. He set it and I couldn't bring myself to counter-offer. The NOS radio plus the 8 track and the NOS 8 track holders mounted to the lower doors will be going in the 71 Blazer I'm restoring. Sorry ,it won't be for sale. I did recieve alot of PM's and emails on this and I will return messages asap...Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays

Is it a multiplex fm radio or just a mono radio?

mono or multi-plex
 

I believe it is a mono as it came with a single nos speaker..however, the info I've rec'd says that when you hook it up to the 8 track you can run dual speakers...the speaker wires from the 8 track confirm this.

can you post some other pics of your blazer it sound like it's gonna be pretty cool when it's fininshed.

What the heck are those white things

White things
 

Those are the 8 track tape holders..they attached to the lower portion of the doors under the door panels..1 for each door. White abs plastic with the raised bowtie ..nos and in the accessories list available for all models in 1971

Very nice Stuff. Good stocking stuffers.

i wonder where the speakers were placed when the 8-track player was installed. Would they be i raised boxes on the doors? Or would they be in the kick panel?

speakers
 

There was a guy on this site millions of posts ago...maybe even Blazer-net.. (Tommy Matthison) was his name, I believe , that had an nos dual speaker set-up for 8 tracks. They mounted below the dash. If I recall right ,some fellows discounted whether or not it was for trucks,but now having an 8 track it would definately make sense.

Cool

Oh by the way, I hate you

:p :p :p

GREAT Score!! I find 8-tracks at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. 25 cents each or 5 for $1.00 If you can't find any I'll look and pick you some up some time.

What a score!! I would like to have something like that if I ever do a stock resto. I have a AM/FM that I don't think works but then again I've never hooked it up either. Is it worth much? Seriously!?
