Would be great if someone had a unit that is tested. Looking for one in very good condition and functional. I may also need the bezel/cover for it.

 

Was a cassette player available? My 1977 442 had an 8-track player.

 

I assumed it was cassette... now that I look at the RPO Code, it just says T P for Tape Player, so now you got me thinking.

 

Did you find any? Was lucky enough to find one for my friend last year

 

No luck so far...but I got your PM ...thanks

 

When I got my 76 El Camino, it has a A/M 8 track. I found a few from the closet and thought it would probably eat them if the rubber band was even still good.
Turns out, they started slowly but played fine. Brought back some memories. Bad Co. Molly Hatchet, ZZ Top.

 

I'm thinking if AM-FM cassette was available in 1977 it would be pretty rare. AM-FM stereo cassette came out in more abundance for GM cars in model year '78 but, as I recall, the wiring/connectors changed such that a '78 radio won't accept '77 connectors. As well, I believe the '77 and earlier speakers were grounded to the body whereas starting in model year '78 the speakers each (front and rear) carried their own ground wire back to the radio unit.

If someone has a sales brochure, it should show the radio options.

 

There wasn’t a cassette available in 73-77 A bodies, 8-track’s were available all those years in various model combinations
