What is the correct part number on teh radio for the AM only radio in our cars?
I see 2884 634 in the parts manual, but all the '69 Bbody radios I see on Ebay and some here are all 2884 631?

Jason,
Your pic was what started me thinking. I saved from the first time you posted it. I looked at the two radios I had and niether had the 631 or 634.
I started looking on Ebay and I have seen many 631 radios listed as out of a RR or BEE, but the parts manaul only listed the 634 for both the RR and BEE.
Could it be that the parts manual is a 1971 release and they missed a part number?
Anyone have a 634 Radio??

MikeE, The two radios you have are as follows.. #2864767 model # 251 is 68-9 Belvedere #2864515 model # 244 is 68-9 Barracuda Of course the model # 251 is correct for your R line Belvedere, Road Runner, Satellite GTX models. The other radio you have should be noticably different, unless someone has monkied with it. The Barracuda radio will have a different chrome bezel, dial face, clear lense, big fat chrome preset buttons, and the mounting stud will be on the bottom instead of the back, those are a few of the more obvious differences. If you have any other radio related questions, please feel free to contact us. Mopar radio restorations is what we specialize in.. Also if you go to our website, click on "services" and you can see the difference between the model 251 and model 244.

Also the 2884631 is probably the 69 B body Chrysler face , but I do not have my books in front of me. Most 69 B body thumbwheels will have the Chrysler dial face , probably 70% . Then about 20% Dodge face and 10 % Plymouth face . Give or take. We restore probably about 100 or so 68-9 B body AM radios per year , also we have about 50-60 of them on the shelf right now for parts . Most people will tell you the Dodge/Plymouth dial face was a 68 only deal, but that is just not true. I have seen tons of 69 units , with 69 production date codes with the Dodge or Plymouth face as well . However, most 69's did carry the Chrysler face. It was more of a vendor supply at the assembly plant on that given day, issue more than any other circumstance.

Thanks for all that rr and bml. You're the folks that do all the ultra cool behind the faceplate conversions aren't you?

Great info BigMoney! I was curious...Would there be a time during 69 production - early or late - that may give any clues as to when the "Plymouth/Dodge" vs. "Chrysler" logo was used? How about plants? My early Lynch Rd. 69 'Runner has the Chrysler logo. Thanks for the info!

When I get radios in, I generally have no way of knowing if it came out of a Lynch Rd car, Hamtramck, or whatever, so I honestly do not know how the vendor supply per assembly plant situation was back in 69. I do know, based on the date codes on the part number tags, that most
69 models did infact have the "Chrysler" face.
I would suspect however, that in a concourse situation, on a 69 1/2 M code RM car, you would be fine with Either the Chrysler or Plymouth,
and on the WM , Either the Chrysler or Dodge .
Also note, typically , white indicator needles were used in 68, and orange in 69, however, there again, it is a very grey area, based on vendor supply. And to respond to one of the above questions about the "Chryco" face radios, those are different model radios all together, and found almost entirely in Canada .

Greg,
Awesome info. The model 251 is the one in my car.
I have 2 others just like you described. See pic.
Any idea what the numbers in dark black mean??

Only one of those two has a label. It also has this lable on the side.

The long rectangular tags found on the side are for the inspectors showing the radio has passed all it's tests upon each stage of being assembled. The other numbers found on the square part # tag on the top plate are some type of vendor ID .I am not real sure what they mean. Most tags will have a date code stamped in dark bolder numbers. For example , here we have a 1970 B body AM with a date code of 2409, the 240th day of 1969.

I'll have to pull my radio out of the car and check the numbers on it since it appears the "Chryco" radios are in Canadian cars like mine.
BigMoney, thanks again for the information.

different faces. ie; DODGE, CHRYSLER, and weren't there the harder to find PLYMOUTH??? So, you may get different answers from the Dodge Boys. Mike, you know us Plymouth guys have all the right answers.
