[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need help finding a replacement radio for my truck

Posted: 10/23/2004 8:46:51 PM EDT

My stock radio in my 93 chevy full size pickup truck died the other day. Any ideas on where to find a replacement radio? Anyone know the best place to look for these radios without spending an arm and a leg?

Should I even try and find a stock replacement or should I go with an aftermarket unit?

I know the arfcom army could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

salvage yard/junkyard or crutchfield.com for an aftermarket buy the radio it comes with adaptor, harness adaptor and antenna adaptor

Try Crutchfield. Stock radios from 1993 are going to be hard to find and aren't that good.

Don't rule out repairing it – Most larger cities have one or two repair shops that specialize in car radios. Check your yellow pages.

However, if you're dead-set on replacing it, ebay is a good place to check. People tend to put their old factory radios up for sale whenever they install an aftermarket model.

Ebay, I bet you will find another one cheap. that's the one thing I hated about those years of Chevy trucks, the stupid two piece radios in them.

will the monsoon head unit out of my z-28 fit it?
if they interchange, i'll call home and have my brother send it to you. you do the research.

and you might have to clear the sec. code...i think a dealership can do that.
but if it'll work you can have it free.

+1 for Ebay. There should be a Chevy truck forum someplace and I wonder if radios from later models might fit. My 1995 Suburban has a nice radio/tape/cd combo, but it looks to me like a lot of other GM radios would fit into the space.
