Is there anyone out there in square body land who has, or may know how to find, the support bracket for my AM/FM radio. Mine was misplaced and cannot be found, UGH. I am including a picture.

Have you tried a u-pull junkyard? There are several here in the metro Detroit area that usually have at least one C10 in stock at any time. I hate to go into Detroit to pull parts, but will if I have to. The other one is in the country.
It looks like it would be quite simple to bend one up out of mild steel or aluminum.

I had the same problem, Home Depot, 1/2" aluminum bar stock, a drill, and some good old American Ingenuity. I had to drill a few holes pretty close together, bend / twist the aluminum a little bit here and there, but it turned out WAY sturdy. Of course, I had to do a lot of work by Braille, but if I couldn't see what I was doing, nobobdy else could either

I once used a length of that plumbers pipe support stuff, about 3/4 inch wide, bendable and full of holes, it can be obtained in steel or copper. Holds the radio just fine.

Funny as hell, I've used "plumbers tape as well" worked great, still works great I guess, the radio is still there and doesn't skip on CD or 8 track . Of course, my daughter keeps trying to find an Mp3 plug when I take her to school. I probably could have skipped the whole 2 hour ordeal if I was younger.

Thanks everyone for the reply's. My cab had some serious rust all around on both pillar posts and I ended up finding a nice cab to swap out. Much to my surprise, the owner had cut the dash for another radio and left the original support in place and just bent it out of the way. A bonus for me although the dash will now have to be patched.
