I have a delete plate, a working factory AM radio, or I can buy a CD player & install it indash or hide it in the glovebox. I have been thinking hard on no radio at all. Old black truck had never had a radio, & I didn't really miss it. My little boy(7)wants a radio, but don't all the kids now use their own Ipods? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | I have Stereo radios in both of my trucks,the 55 and the 65.However I never use them,I would rather roll the window down and listen to the exhaust exiting thru the dual Flowmasters.Now thats music. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | I been leaning towards no radio or the stock AM-jam, I could listen to the Spanish stations. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | How 'bout a little portable battery operated radio.

A radio will also hide the rattles and squeeks.
You could also install a jack for an MP3 player too... less intrusive.
Another quality post.

Yup but the rattles and loud mufflers tend to drown out the radio  I have a cd+ in my truck that I never turn on. Just like listeneng tothe truck. | | |
