Butch from Alaska wrote in the comments about following the radio project I was working on, and gutted his radio to work with the same Bluetooth receiver I found. He mentioned he had a plain uncut radio faceplate painted black, but was looking for a chrome version for his truck. The one I pulled from the ’67 was chrome with black plastic inlay that came with Custom trim, so we worked out a swap. I got his in the mail last week and tried it out with the ’67 radio—and strangely enough it’s just a little off. The cutout for the central controls is perfect but the stalk widths are just a little off, which is baffling. Didn’t they standardize this kind of stuff back in the ’60’s? I hope he can use the one I sent up last Friday—it may be that he’s got to narrow the stalk openings to work with his unit.
