FS: Original AM/FM Radio... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KFreddy · 09-28-2007, 10:19 AM

For Sale is a original am/fm radio with original intact wiring harness and knobs. I have never had it installed or listened to it because because PO had this in a box when I bought the truck 3 years ago. Selling as is. Definitely good driver quality, knobs rotate freely and am/fm selector switch works just fine.

$185.00 includes shipping East of the Mississippi add $10.00 West of the Mississippi. It will be packed waterproof and protected with care, insurance will be included in price. Pay pal payments to luxaer@gmail.com please include shipping info. PM me if you would like more pictures. Thanks

Hook'em · 09-28-2007, 10:24 AM

I am definately interested. Can you PM me with the serial number so that I can verify the year model?

*1972Ryan* · 09-28-2007, 10:32 AM

I'll take it, if you still have it.

Sorry searching the radio high and low I am finding no #s on it, outside of this one on the resistor that is attached to the side heat sink. It reads GM DS-501 7518? Let me know where the serial # should be?

Hook'em · 09-28-2007, 11:31 AM

Thanks for looking. I actually don't know where the model service number is located. I'll back out and let Ryan have it. Thanks again.

Brad · 09-28-2007, 12:05 PM

Seems like for that kind of $$$ you'd be willing to hook it up and make sure it works. I'll be doing this with a simple AM radio I want to sell for alot less $$$.

**70cst** · 09-28-2007, 12:11 PM

AM-FM will always bring a higher $$$ than an AM.

396muncie · 09-28-2007, 01:04 PM

I know it has Delco written on the right side, but the font on the station numbers is different than the truck AM/FM's I've seen. It may be out of a van. Here's a pic of an original one from a 72 Chevy Truck. I'm not interested, just don't want anybody to be sorry.

**jerry moss** · 09-28-2007, 03:33 PM

the dial is van but the lense is correct for a 71-2 pickup. replacement lenses are available so it may have been swapped out by the p.o. still a good price though.

71HUGGER396 · 09-28-2007, 04:15 PM

Put me in line, I'll take it if it gets to me. Thanks

Bob Moore · 09-28-2007, 04:47 PM

Put me in line also. I can paypal or mo now.

**special-K** · 09-28-2007, 06:39 PM

I also wonder why I see these for sale and guys usually can`t say if they work.I don`t get it.Ypu just hook up to a hot wire or battery posts and hook up a speaker.If you don`t have an antennea just hook it up in your truck.

yep..............5 min. at most

Huck · 09-28-2007, 09:13 PM

The truck am/fm is the only one that has the antenna plug into the right rear side. The Van AM/FM radio's have the antenna plug in through the bottom plate. You can change the lense to look like a truck radio and the part number tag is usually stuck on the left side of the radio but that too can be stuck on a van radio----check the location of the antenna wire receptical.
PS, these radio's are prone to transistor or diode failure which can cost a minimum of $175. to repair so keep that in mind. Huck

**70cst** · 09-28-2007, 09:22 PM

[QUOTE]The truck am/fm is the only one that has the antenna plug into the right rear side.[/QUOTE] Huck...that is good info about these radios.When I purcased my truck AM-FM I bought it with the mind set that I would have to get it repaired someday. Unless you buy a refurbished unit there is no gurantee that once you install your radio that it it will work like a new one. It's a toss up when purchasing these radios but then again the AM-FM are not as easy to find. It all comes to what it's worth to the buyer.

67CHIP72 · 09-28-2007, 09:48 PM

Buyer Beware as they say. Ask for pictures. Worked for me. Thanks again Huck.

Bob Moore · 09-29-2007, 11:02 PM

Freddy - according to your PM I'm up(it's my turn). There have been too many questions raised - not your fault - to make me comfortable. I will have to pass on the purchase of this AM/FM. I wish this were not the case as I could use another AM/FM.

Thanks - Bob

67mater · 09-29-2007, 11:22 PM

I can't believe $185 is reasonable for an am/fm radio original or not?! let alone that we don't know it works.

Hey check out evilbay or Hemmings and see what these radios are bringing. I am not saying that $185 is a low or high price but this I know... AM-FM prices will go up just like truck tilt steeering wheels.I bought my truck tilt for $125 a few years ago and my 67-72 truck AM-FM radio for about the same amount. I think compared to todays prices those were good deals. jmo

67CHIP72 · 09-29-2007, 11:54 PM

KFreddy,
Post a pic of the bottom or back of the radio, and I think the questions will be answered. That is until they ask about the missing chrome wheel behind the tuning knob. Good luck with your sale.

xshadow · 09-30-2007, 12:49 AM

sounds like you guys are being a little hard on Kfreddy. The comments about it being a van radio and I.D.ing it is great. but I don't think were suppost to comment on the price being too high, or being prone to transistor or diode failure which can cost a minimum of $175.
I didn't notice the missing chrome wheel behind the knob. good eye chip maybe freddy should put that in the for sale post. the knobs look different than 396muncie's

**zeusflash** · 09-30-2007, 12:51 AM

KFreddy,
Please post some pics of the back,bottom and sides. I may be interested in the radio. I live west of the Mississippi and I know that even $195 is a good deal.

Yup. Knobs are incorrect. But like you say, you can ask anything you want for what you are selling. It's up to the buyer to use discretion.

Hey 67CHIP72...you are right on! And xshadow you are on target with your rely...

The constructive comments are fine as they educate all of us but as far as knocking the price it's the buyer who will determin this. If the buyer of this radio wants it and pays $185 then we all should be glad for two reasons...The buyer found an item that he/she has been looking for and the seller has sold a product at the going market price. I think if an item doesn't sell that will then say the price is to high. IMHO this price is resonable. Good luck KFreddy...

byrd · 09-30-2007, 08:34 AM

I have found that in most if not all occasions that if the seller has not/will not test the function of their item for sale, then there is usually something to hide, just my .02
