86 12 Brutus Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Rembrant. we dont have a cost yet. Nick is still working that out. when you do get a radio. what would you be interested in? just bluetooth and thats it, or bluetooth and a upgraded radio? I guess it depends on what you mean by "upgraded" radio? To be honest, I don't really listen to the radio much anymore. I've been listening to Podcasts for years now (From my iPhone, via Bluetooth). However, I guess I would like the option of using the radio from time to time. If I go looking for a used radio, what is the best one to upgrade? Just curious. Rembrant. What kind of radio bezel do you have in your truck. Do you have the din style like I have, or do you have the one with the knobs on either side of the radio? Sounds like you just want a factory stereo with bluetooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truck in question is a 1980, and if I have my way I will find an early black bezel for it, which will have the old style radio with two knobs. Going to look for a radio in the coming weeks. A friend of mine has a bunch of these trunks in his junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory, if you have access to radio's, you may want to get as many as you can of those style, in particular if there are any with cassette. These radios are becoming worth more and more money as time goes by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Supercab Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hello, I’ve been wanting to restore my 1986 factory cassette deck. I’ve looked online a few years back and found a couple places that do restorations. Unfortunately they wanted more than I can afford to pay to restore an old stereo. I was wondering if you know of any circuit board maps or anything that would help me do this myself. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84F250IDI Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Sorry to be adding to an old thread, but couldn't get the email function to work. I have the same radio as 66gtk and it's having issues with the cassette player, am function, and the preset buttons. Any chance that Nick could repair my radio? Just want it to work correctly again.
