Description

The RetroSound® Apache Radio replaces the original factory radio in your 1955-58 Chevrolet or 1955-59 GMC Truck, featuring the simple but elegant two-shaft control layout of the original factory radios. The Apache fits the dash in your vintage truck without cutting or modifying the original factory opening. The bezel installs from behind the dashboard, leaving the chrome trim around the nose of the radio exposed for a factory appearance. Replica front and rear knobs complete the OEM look by recreating the look and feel of the originals perfectly. Browse radio stations, set favorite channels to presets, stream Bluetooth® audio, and control balance, fader, and tone settings with a period-correct look that blends seamlessly with your classic Chevy truck's interior.

The Apache Radio Face includes a pack of officially licensed Vintage Overlays. These decorative screen protectors are perfect for car shows and events when the display is off, adding a Chevrolet logo and simulated radio dial to the display.
