Part cross reference
I am going to the junkyard later today and want to pick up a second radio since they are on sale. Does anyone know what years and model of car our radios are in? Meaning can I use a 98 Camaro radio in our car?

The Delco radios were used in a lot of circa-time period GM cars. It will primarily be dependent on what radio option you have, i.e., if you have the single CD player or you have the tape deck w/ CD changer in the trunk. My only concerns with pulling one out of a salvage yard would be 1) it's condition if it works or not and 2) the GM Delco radios have a theft-deterrent passcode system integrated into them. If you were to later install that pulled head unit into your car you would need to get past the radio lock or it will be in-op (I believe this is relatively easy to do).
