65 Radio delete panel?
« on: July 16, 2022, 10:34:03 PM »
We're 65 Radio delete panels available from the factory? If so does someone have one they are willing to sell? I have a bionic ear(cochlear implant) so the radio isn't usable for me.

Yes you could delete the raido, heater and seat belts! I want to say you even got a credit on the last two!? Steel panel with the black coating, drops right in radio holes ! The hard thing to find is the speaker cover! Have seen these in cardboard and metal!? I have never seen the heater delete panel that goes where the controls go! Very rare piece!

I sorta recall seeing a speaker cover on a 66, it was just black painted paperboard (thick cereal box cardboard) which bolted in place of the speaker.

I put one in mine.  My wagon came with delete- there is a cardboard panel where the speaker would be.

I'm interested. How much do you need for it.
