I believe it is an encoder, not a pot. Best be would be a junkyard. You might even find a radio that works.

Today I am trading in my '97 Z-71 pickup for a new '03 Z-71. my 97 truck has an aftermarket Pioneer head unit which I am leaving in it. The factory unit is sitting in my closet. It works fine other than If I remember correctly, a few of the lights behind the 6 numbered buttons don't work, so it is kinda hard to hit the correct preset button when it is dark. Let me know if you want it. I would let it go pretty cheap. Matt
