Zeke1953 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Never expected a birthday cake that looks like this. The detail is incredible -right down to the Lemon Yellow wheels and my two Labrador Retrievers on board. Quote

Reg Evans Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Happy B-Day Zeke. Hey, with that level of detail I'll bet there's even a 610-T in the dash. Quote

John-T-53 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Nice! Does the hood open to reveal an edible flathead too? Quote
Zeke1953 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 You guys crack me up! We ate the base of the cake but I can't bring myself to cut into the truck or the dogs so I think I'll freeze it and roll it out for my birthday every year. And thanks for all the birthday wishes. Zeke Quote
buds truck Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 that is one awesome cake, I would save it and roll it out every year too. Happy Birthday!! Quote
pflaming Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 That should be on the calandar, someplace. NEAT to good to EAT! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Happy B-Day Zeke. Hey, with that level of detail I'll bet there's even a 610-T in the dash. I still want to see photographic evidence of this mythical critter 610-T! Quote
Zeke1953 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 I still want to see photographic evidence of this mythical critter 610-T! At the risk of getting Reg and Bud all riled up, here it is. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 At the risk of getting Reg and Bud all riled up, here it is. so they made ONE! Huh, how does it feel to be the only owner of one? Quote
HanksB3B Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 If my truck has the radio cut-out (and as I bought it NO Radio Delete Plate) does that mean that it originally had the radio? Oh another factor, the hole in the dash was restored to it's original configuration because someone had obviously "up-graded" to a more modern unit that required modification to the dashboard. But I'm with Reg on this one, it would be easier to change my cab my doors and front clip to a 48-50 and use an 802 radio than to find a 610-T (perhaps) Hank Quote
Zeke1953 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 Well, the 610-T was in my truck when I bought it but I had no idea it was rare until I joined this forum. I think that the design of this radio was actually a step backward; as we know, both the 602 and 802 models were one piece and covered in a metal case. The 610-T is in three pieces, the power unit, the control unit and the speaker. Only the control unit is encased. The power unit, which contains the vibrator and all the tubes, rectifiers and capacitors is only covered by a thin piece of cardboard over the top. This unit attaches by a bolt through the firewall and it sits right under the antenna mount on the cowl. Over the years, leaks would develop around the antenna and drip down onto the power unit. That's what happened to mine, but because it was garaged for most of its life, the damage was minimal. But it still cost me a lot to get it restored. So my theory is that although many were made, very few (maybe just one) have survived. Quote

Then in 49 they went to a different style that was in a huge box containing the speaker and everything(for plymouth at least). After 52 the dash layouts changed and they started dividing the radio into pieces to make it fit in the new dashes. 53-54 plymouths have a multiple piece radio very similar to yours. Oh and FYI from at least 46-52 the radio was right by the cowl vent. The 49-50 plymouth cars really had this issue with the huge box radio that was all in one. Quote
HanksB3B Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Is to make a "fake" 610-T, that is if you could remove the knobs and take a picture of the face-plate and the knobs separately and document the dimensions, the . My real radio would have to be something else (I-pod?). Don't really want to convert 6Vpg to 12Vng but how else could it really be done. I wonder if shop drawings of the Radio are somewhere in Motorola's flat files. Hank Quote
HanksB3B Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 But I'd also like a pic of the face plate and its dimensions and a closeup of the knobs from the top and sides (with dimensions). Interesting to note is that the cutout on my dash is different than yours which leads me to believe that your radio was ordered and installed after the truck was purchased. Not sure about this. Thank you, (I know it's a lot to ask) Hank Quote
