New delco am/fm

Just put in this new delco am/fm with an auxiliary jack that a guy wired in. I bought the radio on eBay. It was more than I wanted to spend at $135, but I had Christmas money to burn so I'm happy with it. Sound awesome and looks really cool.

Since the dash in my 85 k20 was still uncut I wanted to go with a vintage radio. Someone put in a crappy 2 knob Jensen that looked way out of place.

Do you have a link to the seller? I know I've seen one before but didn't save the seller. It looks pretty cool.

Doesn't look like he has any of the 2 knobers like this for sale now. However, I went through all his recent feedback before buying and he's done quite a few with very good results.

Re: New delco am/fm

Very cool!! Is there any info posted anywhere about how this is done...or did that guy figure it out himself? I've been wanting to add bluetooth to a stock radio so I can listen to pandora from my phone.

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville.

Re: New delco am/fm

There was a thread on here and I stumbled across a site that talked about how to do it. My electronics skills end at wiring guitar pickups and soldering 2 wires together. I'd rather leave the tinkering of circuit boards and the like to people who know what they are doing.

Re: New delco am/fm

Nice purchase, I think it was worth the cost. Need/want some GM knobs for that sucker?

That is the radio that was in my '83, I swapped it out for one of the factory digital etr units.
