Anyone With Factory Radio Delete Option?

[fiatslug87]

Was just wondering if the antenna is also deleted and if so what covers the hole in the fender.

I'm pretty sure my truck was a radio delete and it still has the antenna.

I ordered my '88 without the radio.  It came with antenna installed.  I slapped in an aftermarket cassette deck with speakers, plugged in the factory antenna lead and was good to go.

Mine came with a plug in the hole in the fender. All the wiring for a radio were still there just no radio and no antenna. I had to remove the block off plate to install a factory radio. The radio fuse was already in the fusebox too.

Thanks guys.

dasbulliwagen, do you happen to still have that plug or a picture of it?

Are you looking for the factory fender antenna hole cover piece Mike?

[fiatslug87]

I was thinking of getting a hidden antenna and remove mine, so was wondering if an OEM plug existed. I can easily make something but would like it to look stock.

[HOrnbrod]

Yes, they exist. It's a factory part and costs about $3 - $4. I can PM you the info where to get it if you want. Part #11 below:

YES PLEASE! Thanks Don.

Let me know too if ya don't mind, Don. Want to do this same thing eventually, didn't think a plug existed. Was just always going to patch the hole before painting the entire rig but would rather do it this way.

[HOrnbrod]

YES PLEASE! Thanks Don.

 

PM sent.

 

Alex, my source shows only one cover in stock. I'll let you know if they have another.

 

[GirsMJ86]

Sounds good.  :cheers:

I'm fairly certain I have one of those antenna delete plugs in my parts stash too. PM if ya want me to dig it up.

I'm not sure if I still have mine. That fender was caved in so it got changed when I did the waggy front end. The new fender came with a power antenna that powers up and down either with key on off or radio on off.
