Can anyone help me identify this radio delete plate I recently picked up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chris

Awesome! Thanks for the replies. I was actually guessing 69 Chevelle but wanted to make sure. Anyone have any idea what it is worth? I would like to advertise it here
and want to price it fairly rather than throw it up on eBay.
Thanks, Chris

L79..very close..theres prob more 68 deletes in 69s than the other way..i will post a pic..i have a 68 handy i just took out of a bezel, a couple weeks ago,68s have probs...the little flange that holds the screw falls a part with age really bad..unlike 69s..ive never seen one do it..its the plastic
i said it had 2 bolts on a 68..its only one..i dont know what i was thinking......i was going thru a bunch of deletes and dont know why i thought 68 had 2 bolts...but i was right on the white plastic..i am loosing my mind..lol
i'll post a couple pics of the 68 in the morning...i dont have a 69 to compare
unfortunately the price has tanked..ive seen them do very well..and i now see them less than 75 often..NOS doesnt bring a lot anymore either.....they have been re-popped by several people..

Jim,
That should have been one of my questions as mine has no casting number. The only other delete plate I've had was on a 70 SS which was a stamped steel plate that matched the madrid grain on the SS dash.
My 69 plate looks a little different than Mark's on the backside in that it's flat in the center and has a raised rib on each end. The metal clamp has an AS stamping on the inside but that's it. If mine is a repro I'd be pretty surprised, but that's why I'm asking for opinions as when I offer it for sale I don't want to misrepresent it.
Thanks, Chris
