I may slam one together latter from my parts radio stash and put it up for sale, but right now don't really have time. Still have about 35-40 customer radios waiting on the shelf , including 8 conversions . If you want to go with a '71 AM core , that's no problem, I have plenty. Going with a 70-71 thumbwheel AM FM core is a bit more expensive. If you send me a core , I can hook you up @ $ 419 . Greg gregward@mchsi.com phone 256-852-0955

He said he would try to get it to me in 4 weeks and knocked a little off the price. Hopefully he will deliver. 2016 Diesel Ram 3500 Mason Dump 1971 Challenger 2013 Jeep Wrangler 1979 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 400 Mini Pumper My other car is a Fire Truck.
