The 1967–1972 Chevy C10 and its C/K truck siblings are some of the most popular classic pickups on the road. Many of them are still driven every week, and that's exactly when an old factory AM radio starts to feel like a letdown. It can't play music from your phone, and after 50-plus years a lot of them don't work well at all. The good news is that you don't have to cut the dash or hang a modern stereo under it. This guide covers the main direct-fit radio options for a 1967–72 Chevy truck and how to choose the right one.
Start With the Right Radio for Your Truck
Every radio in this guide is a vehicle-specific listing made for the 1967–72 Chevy truck dash, so it keeps the factory look instead of looking like an aftermarket add-on. The easiest place to start is our 1967–1972 Chevy C10 & GMC C/K truck radio page, which puts the Chevy and GMC versions of each radio in one place. Make sure you pick the Chevy listing for a Chevy and the GMC listing for a GMC, and if you have any question about fit, call us at 844-802-4499 before you order.
Custom AutoSound: Classic Push-Button Looks
Custom AutoSound radios use large OEM-style push buttons that look right at home in a C10 dash. There are four main models for this truck, and the biggest difference between them is Bluetooth.
- USA-740 (Bluetooth built in). The 1967–72 Chevy Truck USA-740 is a favorite for owners who want Bluetooth with a factory-style face. It has wireless music streaming and hands-free calling, an AM/FM tuner with 30 presets, and a USB port that plays MP3 and WMA files.
- USA-850 (Bluetooth built in). The 1967–72 Chevy Truck USA-850 also has Bluetooth built in for streaming and hands-free calls, plus USB and auxiliary inputs. Its USB port can play MP3s from a flash drive and charge a device, and it has 30 AM/FM presets.
- USA-630 (Bluetooth with the BluKit). The 1967–72 Chevy Truck USA-630 is rated at 300 watts peak and has a USB input, iPod control, 25 presets (15 FM, 10 AM), four RCA pre-outs for adding amplifiers, and control for up to a 6-disc CD changer. It doesn't have Bluetooth on its own; you add it with the optional BluKit.
- USA-230 (no Bluetooth). The 1967–72 Chevy Truck USA-230 has the same styling as the USA-630 but leaves out the USB port and CD changer control. It has a rear auxiliary input for a phone or MP3 player. It does not have Bluetooth and can't be upgraded or adapted to add it, so if wireless streaming matters to you, choose the USA-740, USA-850 or Slidebar instead.
Custom AutoSound Slidebar: Stock Face, Hidden Display
If you want a radio that looks as close to factory as possible, the 1967–72 Chevy/GMC Truck Slidebar radio is worth a close look. In its normal position it looks like a classic AM/FM unit. Slide the bar and it reveals a modern digital display. It has Bluetooth built in for streaming and hands-free calling, USB and auxiliary inputs, 300 watts of power and 25 presets. One listing covers both Chevy and GMC trucks.
Antique Automobile Radio: Period-Correct Styling
Antique Automobile Radio builds reproduction-style radios that recreate the look of the original units, with modern electronics inside. Every Antique Automobile Radio unit has Bluetooth built in. For these trucks they're split by year, so choose the one that matches your dash:
- 1967–69 Chevy Truck Antique Automobile Radio with Bluetooth
- 1970–72 Chevy Truck Antique Automobile Radio with Bluetooth
This is a great fit for a restored or show-quality truck where you want the radio to look like it came from the factory in 1968 or 1971.
RetroSound RetroRadio: Pick Your Motor
The RetroSound 1967–1972 Chevrolet C/K Series Truck RetroRadio lets you choose the face finish and the "motor" (the radio chassis behind it). All three motors have Bluetooth 5.0:
- Motor 1B: the entry option, with Bluetooth, an auxiliary input and 275 watts peak.
- Motor 2B: adds a USB port, an adjustable-color display, RCA pre-outs with a subwoofer output, and 300 watts peak.
- Motor 4HD: adds HD Radio, SiriusXM-Ready and app control, two USB ports, and a 2-year warranty (Motors 1B and 2B have a 1-year warranty).
If your truck's dash already has a DIN-size opening, RetroSound also makes a Liberty single-DIN radio for 1968–1978 Chevrolet C/K trucks. Call us if you're not sure which style suits your dash.
Speakers and Installation Tips
A new stereo radio is only as good as the speakers behind it. Many of these trucks still have one old factory dash speaker, and a stereo radio sounds much better with at least two good speakers. Plan your speakers when you order the radio so everything is ready at once.
A few other tips before you start:
- Disconnect the battery before you pull the old radio.
- These radios are made for a 12-volt, negative-ground electrical system. If your truck has been modified, check it before installing.
- Check your antenna and antenna cable. An old, corroded antenna is a common cause of poor reception, even with a brand-new radio.
- Take a photo of the original wiring and knob setup before you remove anything.
We don't offer installation, but most owners with basic tools can handle these radios, and any car audio shop can install them too.
Own a Later Truck?
If you drive a 1973–1987 Chevy or GMC, the dash is completely different. See our 1973–1987 squarebody truck radio page for radios made for those trucks.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Bluetooth with classic push buttons: USA-740 or USA-850.
- The most factory-looking face with modern features hidden: Slidebar or Antique Automobile Radio.
- Room to grow with amps and a subwoofer: RetroSound Motor 2B or 4HD, or the USA-630 with its four pre-outs.
- Simple radio and aux input, no Bluetooth needed: USA-230.
