Does anyone know what happened if you didn't order a radio for a 1971 Duster 340? Was there a radio delete plate?

Thanks!

How does one DELETE an extra cost option ???

There would be a BLOCK OFF plate on a standard steel dash frame.

But the rallye dash bezel would not have the radio holes at all vs. a plate being put in place of the radio best I can tell from an internet search, and knowing how they handle other plastic bezels that had radio holes molded in them.

68 super stock barracuda rallye dash had a plate clipped over the radio holes. Where the 68 Dart GT/270/GTS full plastic bezel is just molded without any radio holes.

Same for heater delete, Darts have a molded blank into the bezel, Rallye gauges have clipped plastic plates over heater control panel.

The rallye plates are not unique to super stock cars. They are commonly found in Mexican and South American Darts that came std with Rallye gauges

I suspect the same was done in 71.

Maybe for assymbly inventory reasons. Rallye dash bezels include gauge panel AND cover radio area AND include heater-A/C controls area. Darts have a seperate panel for heater-A/C, radio.
