Question mid/late 70s am/fm

Just what the title says would it be worth the time to remove an am/fm radio from a late 70s g series van does it work? i dunno but the am/fm selector works i found one in a junkyard and it looked like one that could be used in a 67-72

Re: mid/late 70s am/fm

If it fits the 67-72 trucks (which it should) that people are paying stupid money for original AM/FMs I'd say it's definitely worth taking out. I save AM/FM/Cassettes as well. Personally,since I don't own a 100 point show truck,I'd rather not pay $300+ for a crappy sounding mono radio just because it's original. I just want a radio that fits and plays FM stations...and the later radios are stereo. People pay $60-ish for original AM radios in those trucks. I'd pay $60 for an AM/FM stereo.

Re: mid/late 70s am/fm

I would grab it if you can get it before they crush it. These vehicles around here are getting scrapped so fast you can't even take a day and then come back cause it's probably gone. They were paying $235 a ton at Columbus last week and get this some farmers were driving in their old single axle grain trucks and selling them across the scale for scrap.
If this radio looked decent I would have a home for it in the blank spot of my 72 K20 short box. And these style of radios are not stereo just a mono radio if they are the ones that look like the 70-72 am/fm's with the drum dial that turns.
