Radio Delete

If a 69 camaro car was ordered radio delete - did they still install the speaker in the front dash? Anything else they did not do when this was ordered - besides the radio delete plate?

No speaker; a cardboard cover taped to the underside of the speaker grille as shown on page 1 section B2 of the AIM. Also the hole for the antenna lead in the cowl was plugged.

Thank you for the info. So if i believed i had an original fender on a car with the antenna hole in it - i should assume a radio was installed?

There was no antenna hole in the fender on a radio delete car, just a plug in the door jamb/cowl area where the antenna cable would pass through and a cardboard speaker cover, as William mentioned. If its defintely the original fender, and an original antenna hole, it had a radio. Look closely at the hole though, as alot of radio delete cars ended up with aftermarket radios and antennas later on.

Joe, thanks for the info - when you say look closely at the hole - is there something special with the hole i should notice. I was told that orig fenders with the antenna hole have the circle with a notch in it. Is this what your referring to?
