    I just bought my second 1970s Ford. The previous one had an AM radio in it. My new one does not have a radio in the dash. I am looking for a blank cover to cover the hole where the radio would be. Does anybody have any idea where I can get one?

    I've seen delete plates go for $25 to $175, so at that price you might as well buy a radio. You can get brand new USB/FM/AM radios on ebay with a vintage look that'll also play WMA and MP3 files for $35.

    iicap Thanks,
    No gauge package here,, just made a thin cardboard pattern and transferred it to a piece of 1/8 in. aluminum I had laying around. divided up by 3 parts and drilled the correct sized for gauges.
    When install them (DON'T forget to put the gauge locking ring on BEFORE sticking the the probed through the fire wall)
    If not you will have wasted a lot of time and have to do it again.. And yea, of course don't ask me how I know this...LOL
