Question about radio cups for AM and AM/FM radios - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was installing my original am/fm radio and noticed the right cup from my am radio did not fit correctly. Are the cups different from the am radio and the am/fm radio? Looks to me like the am/fm radio has one shallower than the am for the right cup. Any info would be appreciated.

IIRC one or both of the cups have a groove that mates with a ridge in the radio face. Are you matching these up?

Yes I am matching them up. There is a hole in the cup that has to go a certain way. You can tell by looking at the radio the right side is shallower where the cups rests on the nut. I may be wrong
