I have seen patch panels advertised for my 61's radio area. It came as a radio delete but some dork along the way dremeled out the delete and put in a cd player. so now i have a big hole where there should be a nice little plate. I have the delete plate still and I am wondering how hard it would be to weld in the patch panel and return my truck to a true radio delete, not just a radio missing? any reply would be useful.

ALL trucks were standard 'radio delete' unless ordered w/ the extra cost radio option, when the hole cover was replaced w/ a radio

easily do-able if you weld, or can get someone who can to do it - chopped dashes for later radios is a real common problem on these ol trucks, from the period before such nice updated radios became available to fit the original hole
