Radio Delete for a 70-72 Chevelle?

[chevellekid]

Hey,

I wanted to know what a radio delete dash looks like. I'm debating on putting one in my 72 Chevelle (there is only one thing I wanna hear when driving that!) and I just wanted to know how the dash looked when one was in place.

Thanks!

Now there is a fellow with his priorities in the RIGHT place! Don't know if radio delete was an "option" in '72, but am sure someone smarter than me will chime in!

why waste money on something that dosen't make the car go faster or look better? The only reason I'm spending to get a radio delete is beacuse I don't want a gaping hole in my dash! LOL

Ben,

I don`t have any pics of a 70-72 radio delete plate. This pic is of a 69 Chevelle with not only radio delete, but also heater delete...way cool.

I believe that all the radio delete plates look the same as appearance goes.

I hope this helps.

What gives Dan?! Talk about extremes in a limited space. Radio/heater delete in a tilt column, console/bucket seat automatice!!!!!!!!!! What's up with that? Tell me that was ordered from the factory that way.................

I know the 72 Chevelle with the std./Malibu dash used a metal plate to cover the hole.If I remember correctly it has a radius bead around the plate for an edge and one stud on the reverse side. I removed one from a military 72 Chevelle wagon a few years back....I might be able to get a pic.......very rare part for 72.

The 70- 72 Chevelle SS radio delete was offered 2 ways a Stamped metal with an Embossed grain to match the dash and a plastic grained cover. The malibu plate is stmped steel with a rectangle. The The monte Carlo is also grained and covered in wood grain. I have several of these for sale. I will post some pictures, My files are too large any idea??. Jim
