I have my truck disassembled for paint, radio doesn't work. Is there someone on this site that fixes original radio's? I don't really want to convert it, just fix it.

It would be probably cheaper and easier to simply get another (good, used) factory am radio.
They are relatively common and not too expensive.

Pull the cover off and check for obvious issues. May just be bad ground. My son's 86 factory AM/FM had bad contacts for the speaker outputs. Soldered them up again and it worked great.
