    Can anyone identify this AM radio that was forcefully installed into my latest Ford F1 project? Looks like quality work but the chisel looks to have been dull when the cut the dash.

    man, looks exactly like that 52 Ford radio except the numbers are different. Maybe a mix and match of years?

    I think that was a factory install.

    Pull it out and look for FOMOCO stamped on the metal. Also check to see if it is 12v or 6V, should be on vibrator if it has one, if not, check the tube numbers. The first number on the tubes is either 6 or 12.
