next big car dash ?
in the attached image you can see the trim peice that's missing in my 65 g/p. i assume this is a separate part like the cover for the heater a/c controls?
i just want to clarify this before i get on with the hunt. thanks, mike

Bummer. I should have got that dash for you. Just as good & yours has been cut out significantly in the name of Kraco.

I was about to say, that cannot be the factory radio. I thought the radio fit into that hole without any sort of trim piece? I'm probably wrong.

Mike, there are 2 types of dash faces for a 65 Bonneville/GP. If you look in the PY or Ames catalog, you will see what I mean. There is a 1st type and 2nd type. Whatever type # your's is, I have one but it needs new woodgrain. I just need to fine where I left it!
That radio is a factory radio, but the last one wasn't.

So that is what one looks like. You lucky bast***. I would'nt have to put the cd player in the glove box if I had one of those. Man, when you get lucky you get lucky. I cant believe they cut the dash but man you can replace that, you cannot however find a original am/fm cheap. Does it work?

yes it does. i bought it off of a member who found it in a salvage yard and didn't need it.
i have a friend who's dad used to repair them back in the day for gm. he only does work for people he likes since he retired. i got it wired up and it sounds pretty decent for a 40 yr old radio. the pioneer speakers in the rear deck probably help that some. i've got a front / rear speaker splitter that i kept from a parts car several years ago, that'll go in when i swap out the dash fascia. so far i've been fortunate in finding parts for this car. it didn't need much to be complete which was a big plus to start with. the worst thing will be getting the interior color repro'd in the color it is now. i'm waiting on a reply to see if a vendor will sew up seat covers for it now. mike

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
