A nice thing about those electromechanical radios is that you don't have to worry about a constant power source to keep the memory or computer contents energised. I never thought these things sounded that great when they were new, but the sheer simplicity of them and their unfussy operation appeal to me. It would be be fun to continue checking the circuits such as the FM circuit for proper operation. In your shoes, I'm afraid I couldn't resist the temptation to add a 3.5mm aux jack so I could plug in my ancient iPad or iPod. Also, those nasty plastic lenses over the instruments are begging to be either sanded back and polished or replaced altogether. I'm having fun watching all the fun you can have with this truck.
I think you can mod those GM Delco radios with Bluetooth functionality. You just need to find someone who can mod it for you. Those Delco radios are beasts.
Dude you really should have stayed with taking the upper dash it's only six screws and it being glued in would have a differents. You didn't need to remove the duck work the speaker is right underneath the dash pad. Unbelievable
After this I repaired the factory radio and modified it. Adding aux: ua-cam.com/video/KtVEok-sdkQ/v-deo.htmlsi=6fP1PtM2zz1NjxRf Adding bluetooth instead: ua-cam.com/video/FqJ3JhTE8x0/v-deo.htmlsi=YkziqX3TPZ5888l2

You and I are thinking the same things here :)

This is a lot of information that I can’t find thank you. Could you perhaps tell me what wires to connect to the stereo to turn on?
Factory radio only has 2 wires for turning on, a positive and a ground. The case on the radio will actually tell you what pins do what for the radio
@@bluesxt I have a gray, black and yellow I tried hooking it up how it looks like it goes but no power so I believe I screwed up?
@@bluesxtwhatd you connect for your constant?
@@cheeriosdelgado7598 the factory am fm radio does not have a constant power source. It is only key on/switched power and ground
@@bluesxtI upgraded to a modern Bluetooth stereo and connected it like it looks like it should go but I got no power
Please don't cut the dash.
I’m not a fan of cutting the dash. Check out my other videos on this c10 and you’ll see what I do instead :)
