Correct radio for a boss 351
« on: February 03, 2014, 09:56:33 PM »
Hey guys, can someone clarify this. I have a PHILCO radio in my BOSS 1 and I know its wrong. My order sheet and window sticker says AM radio. My existing radio is an AM/FM. And again says PHILCO.
Isn't this radio supposed to say MUSTANG in the plastic station window instead or on the face of the radio somewhere??????

The Am radio is not specific to the Boss that year

Here are two shots of the face from two different cars both include the PHILCO name on the dial. It appears that at least the face  (engineering number would be different on the radio)  is the same 71-73 from what I'm seeing. Looked at over twenty examples ;)

Hope this helps

Just as information the 71 AM/FM does have MUSTANG on the lens.  Chuck
