Anyone in readerland parting a newer (88 and up) truck? I need the antenna coax. The tip broke off in the factory radio amplifier. I’d rather not mess around with aftermarket and then have to buy an adapter to go from a aftermarket antenna to fit the factory stereo.

Thanks

I have one and it's in nice shape. The problem is, we are moving and it is packed in a box... and I don't remember for sure which box or which truck said box got packed into. And our closing date isn't until March 7th.

Drop whatever trivial task your doing RIGHT NOW and work on my problem!!!


I’m in no hurry. This is for my sons truck, he doesn’t get his license for a few more weeks. In the meantime, he can manage without a stereo. How tragic!! Let me know, thanks!!

I agree. I’m dreading the CPS knocking on my door.


Remember when we were kids, we had entertain ourselves by looking out the car window? This was long before cars and trucks had “entertainment” systems,and mobile phones were carried around in a backpack. Whenever the family went cruising in the Olds (what I refer to as “Oldsmobiling”) the kids always fought over the cell phone charger. In another cruel shortsighted engineering blunder, the Big 3 rarely had more than one cigarette lighter in their cars. However, I had a brainstorm moment worthy of MyGuyver. I installed usb chargers in the backseat ashtrays. With the lid closed, they are invisible.

I’m at work now, so I can’t post pics. Whenever I go to car shows or cruises, people always comment on the chargers, especially the younger kids.

Unfortunately, I take that as a bad omen for the future of our hobby. A kid at a car show is looking at a classic 60s muscle car with factory cold air induction, big tires, aluminum heads, rowdy roller cam, and a stack of low 11 second timeslips, and they ask about the USB charger.

I have multiple 88-98 age trucks, and there's a few at the junkyard right now. Show me exactly what you need, and maybe I could get you one.
