'67 Camaro Factory Rear Speaker pic???

[Zedder]

Thanks again guys. I have the code on my trim tag for the rear speaker, so I know there was at least one when new. However, there are two there now, so I don't know if one was added or ???? The original radio is gone and I have yet to take a hard look at the wiring etc. to see if there are any clues there as to what was original equipment.

Check the front kick panels for wires or speakers...a must for stereo installation....FYI..you still used the center dash speaker for a mono radio even with 8-trk....

What kind of radio mast? Assuming it would still be original a single piece mast is an AM/FM, collapsable mast or a rear mounted mast indicates an AM radio. If your trim tag is coded for the U80 speaker, then an 8 track is out of the running since the U80 option was part of the 8 track package (at least in 69) and your trim tag would be coded 2U for the 8 track instead of 2R for the aux speaker and you would have 4 speakers in the car, not 2.

5 speakers with the 8-trk..4 w/o the radio option (just 8-trk.only)..At least in 68.Unless it has the AM/FM multiplex w/8-trk.Then 4 speakers....Very rare set up..Very Rare..

Thanks Mark. I'll have to look at the mast as it is in the trunk, but I think it was collapsable??? It was located on the front fender. Definitely has the 2R code, so I guess no 8 track...no speakers in kick panels (but some lovely speaker holes cut in my mint deluxe door panels ) I guess it's looking like an AM radio with rear speaker. Does anyone have good pics of both the am and am/fm masts that they could post please?

[/ QUOTE ] If you had gauges and the tape deck is on the console, where would the controls for the multiplex go?

[Denis]

my guess is the the console would consist of (from front to back): gauges, shifter, flush-mounted multiplex dials (4), forward-facing 8-track.

Good question...I've never personally seen that set up. Only have the schematic in the 68 Delco Service manual..part number 7305211..The multiplex unit is like the std. four knob underdash setup like 67.Not the 68 console type. It would mount under the glove box area...My 68 has the AM/FM mono with the 8-Trk....I've done some research on 68's.....

Not nearly enough room for that Denis....It would have to be under the glove box( I have a tissue dispenser there in the pic).See attachment...
