Jim posted it some time ago. Here's the link to the thread. http://firstgenfirebird.org/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=23&Number=95266&Searchpage=1&Main=11194&Words=radio&topic=0&Search=true#Post95266 Late in the 1968 model year, Delco Radio adopted a standardised coding for GM-Model-Line radios which made it very simple to identify exactly what a radio is by features, make, and model year. Let's say the "Service Model Number" is: 02GFM1 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix AM/FM~Stereo The first digit is the model year of the radio 0=1970. So 8=1968, 9=1969, 0=1970, 1=1971, 2=1972 3=1973, 4=1974, 5=1975 after that i have no litature for info. The second digit is the car line: 1 = Chevrolet 2 = Pontiac 3 = Oldsmobile 4 = Buick 5 = Cadillac 6 = GMC The third element is a letter which corresponds to the fisher body style the radio goes in: A - Midsized: Tempest, Chevelle, Camaro, ChevyII, Acadian [GTO not listed by Delco =Tempest, LeMans, GT37, T-37 Pontiac radio] B - Fullsized model: Bonneville etc. C - More than full sized: Cadillac Fleetwood. D - Rear control: Cadillac 75 E - Toronado, Riviera F - Pony car: Firebird etc. G - Grand Prix etc. H - Subcompact: Sunbird etc. L - Opel T - Truck TTC - GMC truck tilt cab V - Corvette X - Compact: Nova etc. Z - Corvair etc. The next two letters indicate the type of radio: PB - Push Button AM FP - AM/FM mono FM - AM/FM~Stereo K - Fader Control MP - FM Multiplex adapter (second part of a two-piece radio) TZ - Stereo Tape Player (8-track) RV - Reverberation Amplifier FW - AM/FM/Weather band MW - AM/FM~Stereo/Weather band In 1970, integrated AM and AM/FM~Stereo/8 tracks became available which added a third letter - T or "AMT" or "FMT" In 1970 there where a lot of AM - 8 track combos sold, FM stations were still a rarity in parts of the country. Finally there may be a digit (1, 2) on the end which indicates a running change or revision number. About the ultimate was reached in the late 1970s with the model xxBFTC1 - An AM/FM~Stereo/8 track/CB unit in three pieces - the radio unit which went in the normal dash position, a CB unit which contained the transceiver electronics, and a control head/microphone. About as much as was ever put into a Delco radio. > First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List> > .........................................................................> > I'm going to throw this question out one more time.
