| 1960-1963 GMC Delco AM Radio |
The first generation 1960 GMC radio is a 12-volt tube type,
AM frequency with three wires. One power wire runs from a switched power source at the fuse box, the radio case is grounded
by the mounting brackets and two wires ran to a 4x10" Slimline Oval 8-10 ohm speaker mounted under the center dash top.

| 1964-1966 GMC Delco AM Radio |
The years of 1964-1966 was the last time General Motors
differentiated GMC radios from Chevrolet on the faceplate's. Although identical in design and function, both GMC
and Chevrolet radios were badged with their brand names. GMC radios also continued to feature solid black
knobs while Chevrolet radios got black with chrome accent knobs.

| 1967-1972 GM Delco AM Radio |
Beginning with the 1967 model year, General Motors dropped the division branding of their radios. Although common radios
were still identical across GM divisions, no longer were they badged as GMC or Chevrolet. Radios simply became "GM"
or "Delco."

The 1960-1961 GMC Trucks feature Grey
knobs including the radio, ashtray, heater controls, headlight, windshield wipers, carburetor choke, vent door,
window cranks, turn signal and column shift levers.
Tube type radios ran from 1960-62. In 1963, the radios
changed to transistor resulting in smaller cases. Even though the radio face looks the same
as 1960-62, they use the same type of one piece, 3-wire plug as the 1964 and up radios making 1963 unique.
All 1964-1966 GMC radios were transistor type featuring
even slimmer radio cases in comparison to the previous generation.
This was the first generation of truck radios to feature
preset pushbutton radio station selection, sometimes referred to as "wonder-bar" radios.
