Radio

[Muad'Dib15]

I'm looking at a new radio for my 66 Barracuda as the one that is in there is very old and bad. I've been looking at the Retrosound Model one as a replacement. I emailed the support guy asking if they have any way to make early A body radio faces and he said that yes it is possible but he needs the distance between holes for the knobs for the brackets and a picture of the faceplate. I have a picture of a 66 faceplate, but it is not that good as it is a cell phone picture. If anyone has an original faceplate picture and possibly dimensions, he hopefully will make them and we will have another alternative for a radio.

We don’t have a listing for many of the MOPAR vehicles because of how varied the dashes are. If you can take a picture of your dash assembly and email it to me along with the dial opening dimensions, I could be of better assistance with parts selections.

I can get you the dimensions and photos if you need.
Thanks, Mark

I don't know what the price they want, but how about putting a unit under dash.

I can't help out with the radio, but as a Frank Herbert fan I DO like your handle!!! :-D Welcome to FABO.

I had mine put in the glove box of my 65 Dart Wagon (see bad pic)

Here's some measurements for you. The actual opening in the interstructure is about 4 1/2" X 2". The face plate window is about 2 3/4" X 3/4".
