I bought this AM/FM radio for my 1969 Road Runner and even though it looks right it's not quite right. So the question is...what is it right for? Says Model 375 on the side. I googled it and there was some reference to an A-body. Anyone know for sure? Thanks

Dave not sure exactly what the AM/FM is but you can just swap the front chrome piece and it'll bolt right into the RR . I have done that with a couple of AM/FM's i've had over the years , I buy any AM I find for cheap with decent chrome and working thumbwheel for the tuner for parts .

The rear mounting stud is on the back like the b-body am radios I have.
I didn't notice anything wrong until the radio faceplate didn't fit that well.
What do you mean "the radio faceplate" ? The plastic plate that screws to the dash frame ?

IIRC, '70 "A" body rallye had thumb wheel radios '71 and up where knob style, standard and rallye dash. Check with others smarter than me.

Not exactly the answer I was hoping for. Thanks for the help though. I appreciate it.
Well I might as well try and get this one into my Road Runner. Can I use the chrome bezel from a b-body am radio?
Chrome bezel and the lense should swap over .

Dave: Why didn't you buy the real B-body 69 AM/FM that I had on my table...sold it Saturday.
Never saw you in the swap area and other years I couldn't keep you away and out of my cooler. 
I heard because of the gathering of A12 cars, you and Scott considered yourselves curators of building Y, and spent all your time there.
