it all depends on how original your car is;
if you have PHS it should say if you have an AM radio and a rear seat speaker; if your car was ordered with an 8-track player (which always used a front and rear speaker), it would have had a "mono" AM radio, and the balance to the rear speaker would have been done through the 8-track player...

This is whats on it. Matter of fact, this all this car came equipped with. The car came with out a radio. It did have an 8 track in the console. Not sure how original it is though

to me, that appears to be an AM-mono radio;
The 8-track player was not ordered from the factory - as the PHS would show it; There is also no separate order for a rear seat speaker (which would have been included with an 8-track player). I believe that a great deal of these cars were ordered with the AM-mono radio because that ensured that you received a windshield with the embedded antenna; Apparently if a 70-81 car was ordered without a radio, it received a plain windshield, and back then replacing it with a windshield with an embedded antenna was a large expense (I know a local who made that mistake, and to this date he has an antenna on the rear passenger quarter panel). I actually have a 1975 AM-mono radio at home; I am unsure if I still have the original radio face for that radio, and I would expect you to want a 100% correct one... I can look into it... but in the meantime, if anyone else has one, speak up!
