WANT TO BUY Vertical mount AM/FM radio

[Superdog]

Looking for a working,vertically mounted Mack AM/FM radio for my '80 RD. Thought I'd see if there were any out there before I settled on putting a regular one in. I might consider just an AM one.

I've been looking,only ones that have turned up are the old AM oes that mounted on the roof or the normal kind,not the ones for the vertical dash mounted position in the older R models.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, I know what you mean by vertical mount (first R I dove to make a living had one), but I didn't realize there was a special radio for such an application. The R model I drove that was set up like that had a K- mart brand radio. I doubt that was factory equipment.

I was curious. Would this be a factory Mack radio? It doesn't say Mack on it anywhere. As far as I know It's the original radio to the truck.

1985 RD

well I jumped on Google and found a company that does retro car radios in the US and emailed them for you and they sent back that they do I have just emailed them again and asked for a picture so as I can make sure we are all talking about them same thing will let you know what I find but they say the display will be horizontal when it is mounted vertical so will wait and see

GM (Delco) also had a few vertical radio models. I remember grabbing one out of a junkyard Chevy Citation a long time ago.
Here's one on eBay: click here

1963 -1967 Corvette had vertical radios. Re-pops available online but pricey. Probably not a bolt-in.
