I don't really have the extra money to buy a repro for $600 and I don't want to spend my time trying to find a used one to be fixed up. What I was wondering was if there was some kind of plugs or something that can be used to fit in the holes in the dash. On oldgmctrucks.com, I saw some of the original factory photos and there was one with the two holes on the side and the large rectangle in the middle plugged with something. I think it was metal and it was painted the same as the dash. Is there anybody who knows about these? Should I just try to make my own? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | justin,
the item that you are describing is called the radio delete plate. These turn up all the time on eBay. I would think that if you put an ad in the parts wanted, someone will respond. I think that they usually go for less than $20. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 180 | You shouldnt have a problem finding one, is the delete panel for a GMC the same as a Chevy?

They are in fairly high demand considering all they do is plug a hole. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | I need to find one. The PO took it out to put in the truck he was fixing.
So, I agree they are in demand.
