Stock AM Radio from a 67 F-100 vs 67 Ranger

airman_x · Post by **airman_x** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:34 pm

I bought a stock AM stereo on ebay only to find out it was from a 67 F-100 and I own a 69 F-250. This was before I found FORDification.com where I could have easily discovered they don't interchange.

Anyway, I resell it on ebay to a guy who owns a 1967 Ford Ranger. He said there a slight difference in the mounting brackets in the dash and they radio won't work.

Does anyone have some knowledge on this?

Thanks,
Steve

i have a 67 radio sitting here in front of me. i has a different bracket then the 68-72 bracket. i am unaware of any other types of radio brackets other than those. do you have a pic of your radio bracket?

I think he is blowing smoke. But hey, if its a working radio, I would be very interested in buying it Steve.

Second Pic...

Seattle67, he still has the radio, but I can check if he wants to return it or re-list it on ebay.

The rest of the pictures are all front shots of the face and bezel.

Maybe the problem is my radio didn't come with a bracket. Can you post a picture of your 67 bracket?

Steve,
I'm with Fordman, that radio doesn't look anything like the one I currently have or any others I have seen for a 67. The pics that Fordman posted match mine. Not saying yours is incorrect, I am just not familiar with that style. The integral speaker totally throws me.

Can you post a picture of the face please?

Here's the face.

That is definitely not a bumpside radio. Maybe an earlier F-series, like the slick sides?

Kind of cool looking, though!

Edit: the bezel looks almost correct for a bumpside, but it is not from a slick side, from the looks of it:

Just found this `67 AM radio on ebay. Looks more like a bumpside radio than what you have there.

Fordman, thanks for the pictures. The stock 67 is definitely a different radio. I think the bezel I had is correct for a 67, but the radio isn't. I'm guessing the bracket from a stock radio won't fit the Motorola and that's the problem. The guy I bought it from swears he took it out of a 67 F100.

Paul, I don't believe that radio on Ebay is from a 67. The larger opening in the bezel shows it to be a 68-72. See this FORDification page (towards the bottom) and you'll see the difference: http://www.fordification.com/67-72ID.htm Ebay sellers constantly mis-label there stuff. That's pretty much how I ended up with the wrong radio.

Thanks for all your inputs. I guess that Motorola radio will remain a mystery for now.
