radio delete

[classic67]

odd question but will 68 delete plate fit a 67 i know they are different but what makes them different besides size

[fordman]

i think it is probably where the bolt holes are for the radio.

[classic67]

but could i use it if i drilled new holes

[Mancar1]

I wouldn't on mine, but if it covers the opening and you are willing to drill the holes. Don't see why not.

[fordman]

if you have ot drill new holes i dont think it would work because of how the dash radio ears set back. here is a 68-72 plate. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-196 ... ccessories

here are pictures of my 67 radio. you can see that the knobs are closer together. it might work. it might not work because of how the ears are inset.





now here i have uploaded pictures of the radio ears. these are from a 1970 truck. they sit lower than the 67 ears do i think. but yo umight be able to make it work. i wish i had a picture for reference of the 67 radio ears. if it wasnt so much of a hassle i would dig otu my 67 radio and try to ptu it up against that set of green ears and show the difference it might be. this may be ht ebest i cna show. maybe soemone else has a picture of the back of a 67 delete plate or can show a 67 radio against a 68 and up set of ears.

The reason those delete plates are hard to find is in the factory radio install instuctions,and I Quote---#1 Remove ash tray,ash tray receiver,and glove box-- #2 Remove and "discard"plate covering radio openings in dash. This is from an insert for custom radio install that came with your owners manual for 68 ford trucks.
