Radio question
City:
City Point
State:
Wisconsin
I have a question about a radio. I am looking for a FACTORY AM RADIO for a 1948-50 Ford pickup. I was told that a radio from a 1951-52 Ford pick up is the same. Is this true? If not, what does the 1948-50 Ford radio look like? Is there a seperate face plate that covers up the radio dial once it is installed in the dash? I would like to see some photos of a 1948-50 Ford radio if possible and the face plate if it has one., Thank u.

Re: Radio question
I have been told 49 Mercury radio fits. I'm sure 49-50 ford cars will NOT work.

Re: Radio question
I have a NOS kit in original Ford box that fits 1948 trucks. It is a pressed steel plate painted Tacoma cream that mounts to the lower edge of the dash. It uses a 1946/8 Ford or Mercury car radio. 1949/50 trucks used a different mounting plate located in the rectangular opening above the speaker. I am guessing the radio was the regular 1949 car unit. The mounting plate is needed to adapt it to the hole.

I have a early 50's dealer notebook used by the sales department. Hope this helps. I believe the radio is same as a 49 Mercury, but the face is unique to the pickup( or commercial) trucks only. Hope this helps..... Regards, Paul |

Re: Radio question
My Trico data shows 1948-50 pickup used a CSM-1-2. It also shows the 1951-52 pickup used a CHM-11-10. The Trico data does not explain the differences and the wipers differ in part number from passenger wipers of same era. Bear in mind the difference can be small.
