1963 Radio Faceplate

[Gerald C.]

I'm looking for a vendor that will sell just the new faceplate without the buttons. etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jerry. U65(AM) or U69(AM/FM)?

I may have a lead to where there may be some. I'll send you a email based on your answer.

If not, the only other option I'm thinking may be a rechrome of yours.

Corvette Central sells a Radio Face Kit and I quote. Comes with everything needed to make the face of your 63-67 Radio look new again. Approx $150.00. Hope your Vette deserves that much!

Jerry, No luck on my end.

Is yours damaged badly?

There are a few originals on ebay. I'm not sure if better than yours or not


Here - This one is pretty nice, has a Make Offer button.

and

Here - cheaper, but pitted, and free shipping.

Rich,

Mine isn't that bad. I'm going to make the "restoration" of this faceplate a small winder project.

Thanks

Sometimes a good cleanup with a fiberglass eraser is all you need. E.G. HERE

This was pretty bad, rusty and some specled pitting.

Like new now....
