Who is the Radio Block Off Plate Expert?

[ACME A12]

Check out this ad on the bag... METAL block off plate. I have two, but they are both plastic. Is this a '68 only item perhaps? Anyone have any ideas?

No expert but I always thought of them as plastic just like the radio filler

I don't think the type of material is important here. Seven people have bid a simple approx, 8"x4" piece of metal up to 151 bucks? :huh: Seems to me you could make that just a little bit cheaper then that!

I got some extra plywood about that size......

I have one or two plastic ones and a metal one, the metal one I pulled firsthand out of a junk yard 69 Belvedere in late eighties early nineties, haven't looked at it in a long time but it bolts in funny if i remember right. the plastic ones are what you should be looking for. Maybe it could be argued to ne a 68 or early 69 thing usually those have the wide 68 trim around door/window edge and I think I would have remembered if that was the case. I could photo it if someone is curious.

after looking at the e-bay ad closer yeah that is how my metal one bolts in too, I knew it was something funny.

Thanks, Rich. Not looking. Just curious. Hadn't seen the metal version before. I have one decent block off plate that's in the car and one that's very nice that will eventually get used.

I own one, but it's the plastic type. I never saw a metal one until now.

My souvenir muffler from the "Puff the Magic Dragon" episode got thrown into the cuda when I hauled everything off last week...

Exhaust isn't that loud on that car...but the tranny sounds like a freight train...worn slap out and no carpeting to deaden the sound...yikes... :crazy:

I hate to say it but it kinda looks like the block off panel for a non A/C 68. 69s have a puffy pad but 68 used the same pad for the swtch panel surround and had a METAL block off with a crown/ crease up the middle just like that one. :cents:

Well apparently the metal radio block off plates must be somewhat rare...that thing sold for $202...
