Looks to be a 1969 "B" body radio..
hey matt. nothing stamped outside in the metal anywhere near 7 digits.
another guy told me look for a paper sticker attached to the case --- if it was there it isnt now.

68 Dodge Polara/Monaco AM/8 track..
Flat faceplate, not a '68 Chrysler. Thumbwheel ID in the faceplate, not a '69-'73 Chrysler, either. Process of elimination, for now, I'd suspect the best thing to do is to go through the order guides and such at www.hamtramck-historical.com and possibly some online sales brochures for '68-'69 Coronets or Belvederes.
When produced, there was a paper tag glued to the upper cover for part number and other ID codes. But it's apparently long gone by now.
I found an old, comprehensive illustrated parts catalog for the radios that Delco produced, including for non-GM makes. Delco sourced the search tuners which Chrysler used, according to it, and probably the 8-trach tape units, too. Vehicle brand applications, radio types, and model years. Quite interesting! Plus the parts it took to repair them.
Just some thoughts,

Is there a 3 digit number pressed into the case somewhere?

Here is an interesting site. I am working with a b-body Chrysler 8-track. Yours looks similar to the ‘68-‘69 b’s.(edit: now I know it’s not).
This is what I have. So far the white radio station id #’s were painted and polished, two dials were rechromed and a new belt was bought and installed. I haven’t seen any three #’s stamped part number, only paper information.

Ahh, now I notice the dial labels, volume, tune, bal, tone. Also the thumbwheels are farther out. Nice looking faceplate though.

Read post #6.
Radio in question in OP post is a 68 Polara/Monaco unit. (It will fit 67 Polara/Monaco.)
One year only unit.
68 first year for 8-track and of course the Fusies came along next model year along with redesigned radio faceplates,etc.

I am the owner of said radio. Ray was good enough to try to find out about it for me. I have found a stamped number on the casing, and a paper tag on the inside. Hope they help. Thanks all, Bob
