My 52 came with a delete plate, unfortunately the original owners son had slightly enlarged the mounting holes and installed a newer radio. I found a period aftermarket radio in a 49 gmc; it is a two piece with the radio mounting under the dash on the steering column and the controller mounted in the dash with flexible spring rods connected to the radio. The controller and face plate mated perfectly to the 52. The radio itself works with weak volume but is not installed. The original black piece of cardboard is still behind the grill blacking it out.
