Does anyone have any pics if an am/fm radio out of the truck, I can't remember the identifying characteristics of them, pics I could keep would help a ton.
Thanks,
Matthew

I borrowed their pictures. The first pic is a truck, second is a van.

As you can see their is a script Delco on the lense of the truck, and a box Delco on the van. The lettering on the dials is also different.

I have heard that one of the heat sink's is on the opposite side, but I just did a search on it does look like the truck's heat sink is on the same side as pictured.
Maybe the van one is supposed to be on the other side???

Wow, I just reread my post. Let me clarify the obvious. I meant the numbering on the dial is different. It's smaller on the van's. Tall and skinny on the truck's.

There are several variations of the truck radio's and van radios. You can swap out the delco lense easy enough butttt the common difference is that the van antenna plug goes into a hole in the bottom of the radio on a van and into the rear side behind the black heat sink on the truck radio. Most truck and van radio's have a 3 prong reception connector in the left rear for the 12V, ground and speaker wire. Some truck radio's have the connector on the left side rear. Huck
