FrankOC Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I've been looking to replace my 70 AM radio with a 70 AM/FM radio and I believe a 70 Chevelle will be the same radio. Is there a difference shaft length of a Chevelle SS radio from a non-SS radio? By shaft length I'm referring to the threaded section where the nut goes to hold the radio tight to the dash. Thank in advance for any insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 The radio’s are the same for 70 Monte and chevelle. Same dash. 71 and 72 Monte and chevelle are also the same but have different color lense and different knobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you know. 600 ain’t bad considering your getting all the modern technology in an original looking radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SS Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I ordered mine last August and it just came in today. just waiting to clear customs! Supply chain delays are really messing with us! It's factory looking, but has bluetooth, etc. I also went for the "roll over" option; moves the dial just like the old radio did! I paid $698 US Dollars, (which is like $1,000 Canadian Dollars!) I still feel it is very well worth it and can't wait to install it! 1970 Chevelle SS AM FM Bluetooth® Radio – Vintage Auto Radio www.VintageAutoRadio.com Salem, Wisconsin Steve Webber 262-885-1581 888-514-3811 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searsman Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Got a look a like from resto parts on opgi a few years ago. Looks great, all the phone inputs ect but the sound quality leaves something to be desired. Have good speakers but , I’m an audio perfectionist what can I say.. just looked at the vintage audio radio link, to me 45 watts per channel basically won’t do it for me. Maybe add a booster.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SS Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I will indeed let you know. I do remember from my original investigation it may need a booster (mounted under passenger seat). Stay "tuned" 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Alpine (as many others) make an amp small enough to mount under the dash. Makes for shorter wiring..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOC Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 I ordered the Vintage Auto Radio. I don’t expect to see it for many months but I’m on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
