My truck has the factory radio and I don't believe it works.It needs new nobs etc.

Question 1: Is there a rebuild kit available for these?

Question 2: Is the factory radio a super rare and valuable item?

what is the word under the numbers on the radio face?

Also there is a radio sub forum above on this page. Very experienced radio guys up there.

Ive seen your pics in the other forums, Nice truck.

Thats not the GM dealer installed radio. If you can find an orig. one,grab it. Mostly all of the used ones out there will need new plastic.
All the parts dealers sell the re-face kits.

There are Canadian radios that look completely different than the more common AD radio. Does it say GM Auto radio on it anywhere? Also, is there a model number?

The word on the radio says, "MASTER". I didnt see any model numbers unless I remove it.

Ok so that would be a radio for a Chevy Master sedan, I would think. Have you looked behind the washers to see if they modified the dash? If so, and you want to keep the radio, it should be fairly simple to rebuild.
