I had the cassette already, but the truck had the 8 track version already in it. It is made by clairion, and they are tough to find. This radio was made in 79..... it still plays nice and does the "good buddy-in" pretty good still....

more progress.... It now has ALL of the emissions that it is suppose to have, the correct 1980 harness is in it, and it will now sport FACTORY A/C!! The decals should be here any day now, and my painted is going to start with the bed first... I have to try to keep this low budget....so far I am into it for about 2k or so...and I need to paint it and get the wheels powder coated...and some other stuff....
