Ain't worth it mate because the frequencys will be the wrong American ones and it'll cost loads !

For our Astro we bought a Pioneer 40 watt single CD/radio jobby fitted for £70 at the local Chav Shop

You been spending money again ??

The link I posted is for a radio from a pickup but GM usually uses basically the same Delco radio across the board durring a model year except in the higher option packages and in Cadillac and Buick.

I would have to agree with F Body if you want functionality but if you're looking for an original radio to fill the hole the one I listed is a pretty good price for a guarenteed working radio. You could get one cheaper at http://www.car-part.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.car-part.com but may have to pay more for shipping.

BTW, everyone may want to bookmark this link http://www.car-part.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.car-part.com .

Just checked - It couldn't find me a Crankshaft from the later ('59-'63) 390ci Caddy motors . . . .

This is the last major part (with rods) on my shopping list before the rebuild begins.

Must find a crank !!!

Yeah - after what we went through with the DiVyLA they had to have a "bomb" put under them

Apparently when I got the plates made up in Halfords in Bracknell he commented on them saying "he had seen so many TNT's recently" I joked with him saying they weren't orange letters plastered on the side of vans (being the courier company!) and he just stared at me as though I was crazy - lighten up please!!!!!!!!

Thanks m8, we are having a think about it now. Basically all we want is option to play music (want to get a CD multichanger in!) and listen to radio (which we have another method going into the van to do that

)

I've noticed a couple of Astro's being broken on eBay (.co.uk), recently - Maybe worth giving one of them a email ?
