Radio Installation Instructions

TRUCKS

Unpack the radio receiver and check all the parts with the packing slip. If any items are missing, indicate this on the packing slip and together with the dealer name and address send the packing slip to the Zone Office to the attention of the Zone Parts and Accessories Manager.

While bench convenience is available, check the tubes and vibrator to make sure they are secured tightly in their sockets. Connect the radio to a 12-volt power supply and allow the radio to play while installing the noise suppression equipment. Radios that play for 15 minutes should give many months of uninterrupted service.

  1. Remove the high tension coil wire from the distributor cap. Install the distributor suppressor and nipple in the distributor cap and connect the high tension wire to the suppressor. See Fig. 201.
  2. Mount the generator capacitor (No. 1911095) on the generator with the existing screw in the generator housing and connect the lead wire to the generator armature terminal. See Fig. 201. NOTE: Do not connect the lead wire to the generator field terminal.

  5. Remove both front wheel hub caps. Prepare to install the front wheel static collectors by removing both grease retainers and cleaning them of any grease. Remove the grease from the center holes in the front wheel spindles and clean the holes with sand paper to assure a good electrical contact for the static collector buttons. Bend the cotter pins to give adequate clearance for the static collector buttons so they may contact properly with the wheel spindle holes.
  6. Press the static collectors into the grease retainers with the collector buttons up and the planes of the buttons parallel with the open sides of the retainers. See Fig. 202. NOTE: For 5000 and 6000 Series trucks only, it will be necessary to attach the static collectors to the adapters provided. See Fig. 202.

  14. Place the radio control knob assemblies and felt washers on the control studs. See Fig. 203. NOTE: The control knob assembly for the left hand control stud is keyed.
  15. Route the power and dial lamp lead wires from the radio through the clip on the back of the instrument cluster and through the clip on the plenum panel and down to the accessory junction block. See Fig. 200.
  16. Connect the terminal on the black power lead wire to the terminal on the accessory junction block marked "RADIO". Install the fuse in the clips directly underneath. See Fig. 204.
  17. Connect the terminal on the gray dial lamp lead wire to one of the terminals on the upper left hand corner of the accessory junction block. See Fig. 204.
  18. Connect the capacitor (No. 7263920) to the accessory junction block with the existing screws, one wire to the bracket and the other wire to the connection in the lower left hand corner. See Fig. 204.
  19. Attach the antenna lead wire clip (provided in the antenna package) to the reinforcement flange of the instrument panel placing it near the lower left hand corner of the dispatch box opening. See Fig. 200.
  20. Route the antenna lead wire through the clip on the instrument panel and plug it into the connector on the right side of the radio.
  21. Tape the template to the header panel keeping it flush with the edge of the header panel and centered with the dimple on the underside of the header panel. See Fig. 205. NOTE: If a rear view mirror is installed, keep the template centered with the centerline of the rear view mirror bracket.
  22. Centerpunch the seven hole locations indicated on the template; that is, two center holes, four corner holes and one hole for the speaker ground wire.
  23. Remove the template and drill the four corner holes and the hole for the speaker ground wire with a 1/8 inch diameter drill. See Fig. 205.
  24. Cut out the two center holes with a 3-1/2 inch diameter hole saw.
  25. Cut out the two triangles of metal between the two center holes.
  26. Place the rubber grommet in the cut-out on the speaker shroud. See Fig. 205. NOTE: When a rear view mirror is installed, discard the grommet.
  27. Feed a stiff wire up through the right hand windshield pillar and out through the speaker opening in the header panel. Attach the speaker lead wire to this wire and pull it back down through the windshield pillar. Detach the speaker lead wire from the stiff wire and plug this end of the speaker lead wire into the connector on the underside of the radio case.
  28. Attach the speaker ground wire to the header panel with the screw provided.
  29. Plug the speaker lead wire and the ground wire into the connectors on the speaker.
  30. Attach the speaker assembly to the header panel with the four self-tapping screws provided. See Fig. 205.
  31. Position the slack of the speaker lead wire along the inside of the instrument panel reinforcement flange and attach it to the antenna clip. See Fig. 200.
  32. Extend the antenna to full height. Turn on the radio receiver and tune in a weak station near 800 on the dial with the volume control turned to maximum position. With a small screwdriver adjust the antenna trimmer condenser for clearest and maximum volume. NOTE: The antenna trimmer is located on the bottom of the radio receiver and is indicated by a red sticker.
