1947-53 Chevrolet Truck AM/FM/Bluetooth Radio with Speakers

Description

Small size, big features! Our 1947-53 Chevrolet truck radio is designed to look, fit, and feel like the original. Behind the dash, the radio case is only 4” deep, allowing room for electric wipers and air conditioning. The AM scale on the dial glass is an exact copy of the original. Hidden in the background is a smaller FM dial scale. To switch between AM and FM, just quickly turn the radio off and back on again. This radio does not have a digital display.

When the radio is powered on, the dial pointer, knobs, and pushbuttons all move and work like the original. Every radio comes equipped with Bluetooth® for wireless audio streaming and hands-free phone control. Other features include a 3.5mm auxiliary port to plug in any compatible device, such as an MP3 player or a CD player, as well as another input jack specifically designed to work with our foot control switch. Each radio comes with a 12 ½” 12 wire harness with male and female connections for easy connection/disconnection. This harness includes power, ground, a 12-volt output wire (for options like a power antenna or amplifier remote connection), 4 speaker connections (unless speakers are already built onto the radio), and dial lights. The radio also has 4 channel RCA outputs for an external amplifier and a subwoofer RCA output. Please see the links below for more information.
