CB's ever installed at the dealer ?

I just received my all original 78 SWB last night and it has a CB in it . I will be removing it but was wondering if they were ever installed at the dealer ? It had a 40 chanel that has a manufacture date of March 1978 , the same as the truck . It also has an 8 track player mounted in it (also coming out ) . I am sure that it was all installed when the truck was fairly new . The truck has 36,100 original and the cleanest original interior that I personally have seen . I will try to post pics but I have trouble with the size . I save them at the lowest resolution and they are still very large . Thanks in advance ! Frank

Yes, the CB was a factory option. The link SSC's76 is talking about is Doug's 1976K5CHALET and is located here: http://www.blazerchalet.com/ the brochure page is here: http://brochures.slosh.com/

There were several radios used in 73-87 trucks that had CB's built in. There were also accessory CB radios that were labeled Delco and/or GM that were available from the dealer.
