radio face plate

Postby MLMFLCN » 15 Aug 2012 16:55

Hello All,

I picked up a working AM radio (70 or 71 ebody as it has chrome buttons) for cheap at the Mopar Nationals for my 1972 Challenger, but it was without the black faceplate that bolts directly to the radio. This is not the dash part that surrounds the radio, but instead is just the face plate. Seems like they are reproducing for B-bodies, but no E-bodies that I could find, unless I wanted to buy a whole radio for the low price of $600!

Anyone have one laying around? Certainly willing to pay a fair place. Thanks,

- Rich

Yep, I am looking for an AM face plate. Not sure if the AM/FM is different. The dial area is 3.5 inches across and just about 1.5 inches down, including the push buttons. There look to be three screw holes that attach the face plate, two on the bottom and one on the right side. The two on the bottom are 2.75 inches apart on center. The screw hole on the right is down about 1 7/16 inches from the top housing of the radio.

Thanks,
