Default Radio with theft lock

I got a radio from a junk yard that came out of a chevy car don't remember what kind. It has theft lock but currently isn't locked. I have it bench tested and it works. Model # is 16232131. Will it lock up when I put it in my 94 G-20?

I will keep that in mind. Going out of town tomorrow so next week I will tear into this project. Going to install the new used radio, brand new 5 X 7 speakers in the dash, fix the heat cold cable, (stuck on heat), add another cigarette lighter jack. Then I'm taking it to a steering column specialist to have the turn signal problem fixed. Left signal won't cancel.

Well I got lucky. The theft lock did not activate. It had the harness jack that the original radio had so I now have a radio that plays CD's. I got the new speakers in the dash and the extra cigarette lighter jack installed. As a bonus, the CD player had an Eric Clapton concert CD in it. Along with those upgrades my van also has fold out windows, a Rear view mirror with map lights that came from an S-10 Blazer, and second hand window blinds that function. Now I need to find a new grill.
