Default Billet C5 Radio *****...Will They Fit a F-Body Headunit?

Has anybody ever tried a set of the C5 Corvette billet radio ***** on a factory F-Body Headunit? I know there is less ***** on the F-Body, but I would buy a set if there is a good chance they would fit....they would match my billet vent rings and polished MBA headlight and AC ***** perfectly. Anybody know...I hate to spend $65 on them and then not be able to use them?

I was hoping that somebody that had access to both a C5 and a F-body could verify...but if not I emailed the seller and asked if I bought them and they didnt fit if I could send them back. If he agrees I will go ahead and pick a set up and see.

I tried it and it doesn't work. The radio **** on my Vette doesn't fit my Z28. The stem on the head unit for the Corvette is just a little larger than the
Z28.

Maybe they look like crap, but at shows, every little detail counts. Trust me.
