radio dilema

has anyone found an aftermarket radio for 70 RR similar to a stock look. ive checked with a couple of outfits and all im finding is 71 and up. while i am at it. how about aftermarket steering wheel for the same. talked with some wheel resto outfits they are close to 500$ for the resto. seems a bit pricey to me. thanks

Hi,
Do you have an original radio for the 70 RR? Are you looking to replace it or are you looking for an original? I just checked my parts bin that came with the 70 RR I purchased and I have an extra original radio. Not sure if it works but all the wiring appears to be intact. It is missing one ****, but replacements can be purchased at Yearone.

I had to pay $800 to restore an original rim blow wheel for my E body , this did not include the center cap . Grant has a wheel very similar to the original tuff wheel that is easy to adapt to your column .

Get an aftermarket radio with a remote and mount it in the trunk

Hi,
Not totally sure, but I think any 70 A and B body may be the same. I see Yearone carries reproductions. Not cheap though.

Come to think of it, I may have an extra steering wheel in the garage. It's the 3 spoke one, same as the original, blue in colour. But not sure what it came off of.

Hi,

Here are the pics of the steering wheel. There is a crack on the backside. Not sure where I got this from, but I believe it is from an A body post 1970.
