2 Radios in the truck

Safety First

Although I plan on keeping my truck as close to original as possible, safety is somewhat of a priority. And If I ever want to take my kids for a ride in 'Rojo' seatbelts will be a requirement. Safety is a priority but aesthetics and ease of installation also comes into play. I've decided on 2 point retractible lap belts from Julianos. Take a look.

...Continued.....I now have seat belts and can't wait to take Andrew (age 5) and Michael (age 4) for a cruise in ol' red.

Repair or Replace?

Well, I chose to replace the non-functioning radio in my truck with this MoPar 802 Deluxe that I found listed on eBay. Given the repair of my non-functioning Philco would easily cost more than what the Buy It Now price on this remanufactured, correct for my truck, radio, the decision was an easy one.

Original Colors for Dodge 1949-50

Here is a great resource for original color charts. I wish I knew about this site before my truck was restored. When the time came for my truck to get paint the inside of the glovebox door was used to color match the new paint. Click here for Color Chart
