Are you sure it is a 69 Firebird radio?As I remember the push buttons are longer than other 69 radios.Tom

Well,I hope it is a 69 firebird radio. The fella I bought it from sells hundreds of restored radios so I feel pretty good about it. Just not sure if I'm missing a cover or something.

That’s not a 69 Firebird radio. Was the part number decal still on the unit?

The hole in the carrier has been cut larger. There shoul be a hole the size of the radio lens, and a slot for the buttons. Your buttons look too short.

I have an original 69 Firebird AM push button radio available if you find yourself in need of one. PM me for additional information if you are interested.

The radio opening in the carrier should look like the pic below. Firebird radios used long pushbuttons as in the pic. Your radio will work, but the buttons will be awkward. As long as factory radio mounts in your carrier okay, you can paint the die cast portion of the radio black and attach a 1/16" piece of clear acrylic to the front to make it look finished.

Thanyou guys for the response. This is the original sticker on the AM radio sold as a 69 and early 70 firebird, # 92FPB1. I do have an original early build 70 transam radio that is similar but a little different. Again thanks for the help !!
