1999 Radio models

It probably never had a stock radio, the Kenwood was probably installed by
the motor home manufacturer. I don't like the Kenwood: can't tell what the
buttons are for without leaning over to look at them, and there are too many
of them. I've looked at other radios and prefer the Delco.
I have two other Chevvies and the stock radios are much easier to operate.

Thanks for the link.
I don't want to pull out the existing radio until I have a replacement ready
to install. I know that the Chevy wiring may or may not be there and that I
may have to buy a harness of some kind. I don't think that's going to be a
problem.
I really got spoiled by how easy the Delco radios are to use in my Van and
Minivan.

The problem is that if it was ordered with a radio delete option (likely
if it was a cab/chassis unit) The proper wiring harness isn't there. BUT
that isn't a big problem if you can handle some wiring. What you will
want to do is pull the Kenwood out and see if it has adapters to the
factory harness or if it is direct wired. If it's adapted then you can
tell by the adapter what units will fit (more than likely anything from
1994-1999 since 2000 was when GM started using the single buss
connection) Then you need to find one that matches your interior and has
the options you want.

it'd likely be much more expenive to buy this from the parts dealer..
check a scrap yard or ebay.

pull the kenwood out and see if the factory harness is there... swing it
by a junk yard and plug a few in.. surely they'd have a few of that style in
