Someone recently asked about modifying an old radio to get FM in their truck, and I remembered this old post. I just discovered the picture links are dead, so here are the pictures. I used a stereo with knobs, probably '80's vintage. Pull the potentiometers out of the chassis. Modify the radio delete panel. I ran it this way for years. The original radio is big, so there is plenty of room behind the dash.
