Mopar...can't see your images, I believe the [IMG] on both ends
of each link need to be lower case [img]. Then use the preview
to see if they worked....There is also the "Sticky" at the top
of this section to give further help

It looks like the Sears Allstate radio that we had installed in our 58 Silver Hawk. It had a similar face plate and round buttons. Does it have a name on it?Comment

If the truck had an original Radio it would take up most of knock-out large panel right above it, next to the similar one for the heater control. I guess if I were looking to buy it though, that would be the least of my concern. Condition of bed floor, engine etc.? It looks quite restorable, has all or most of the glass still in it, that's a good sign. The only thing I can see missing is the antenna & gas cap. I guess it's all about the purpose for buying it, if you just want to flip it because it's cheap and make really big bucks, it will not happen. If you want a good looking truck to restore, without looking to make money, this could be it!

Looks to be enough scrap in the back to at least cover a portion of your investment!
