Gonna be on the hunt soon for a radio for my dash. What all fits for the RR? 70 Coronet the same? Charger the same? I was thinking there was several that were the same that would fit. Rounds knobs, i'm sure. I have no bezel to go by, so.....Did they ever put a thumb wheel in a 70? Mine had a AM/Fm thumb wheel installed when i got the car. OFC it had no radio bezel then. last of vin 163103.
 
i have 2 very early 70 road runners with thumb wheel radios that are original
 
1970 B body AM or AM/FM radios were one year only.
AM/8 tracks were 68-70.

How would i know if my thumb wheel was original to my car? Production number? production date of car?

The only thumbwheel radio that came in a 1970 B body was an AM/8 track.

An AM/FM thumbwheel would not be original in a 1970 B body.

I don't doubt this, but it's the first I've ever heard of this. Never say never I guess. :thumbsup:

my buddy has a survivor and its a thumbwheel all three cars were built in the first 3 weeks of production I'm guessing they just used up the inventory on them but all 3 were am/fm
