Do you think this looks like it would fit a 52 truck. The price on these are a lot more in my price range. Not really that concerned about the truck being origional, as from the period. The attraction for me is the overall look of the design of the era. Sure solid state would be the way to go. It has beeen a long time since I worked on anything with tubes. That was a 1941 zenith arm chair radio that is still working. That was in the early 70's. tubes and testers were in the radio shacks. I guess I should ask the seller what the distance between the knobs is. The dial area and one knob hole on my dash were rolled back like a sardine can to put a 60's style piece in. I have unrolled it and beaten it into submission. I hope to start welding it back in place this week. I have a week off from the college, can't wait to make some progress.
you are a true craftsman.
