I don't think FM radios came out until the mid 70s brother.

First available in 1970, mono only. You want it for show, or functioning?

Check out the second post on this thread. You can have your AM radio converted to AM/FM.

I've seen factory fm in a 63 Impala.
Trucks in 67/68.
In 67 my dad had a 67 Impala with fm-only 1 station on the air!

What he said.
Mid sixties Chevy cars had em as options (now quite pricey), so why not trucks?
Sorry, none laying around my place.

Back "in the day" a lot of us used FM Converters. I had a '70 Nova and put in an FM converter, back in the mid '70s they were about 20 bucks as I recall. There are a bunch of them on Ebay right now: FM Converters

I bought a NOS "Realistic" (Radio Shack) one a couple years ago and put it in my '69 Camaro.

It plugs into the AM radios antenna port, then you plug the antenna into the FM Converter. You tune the AM radio to a certain frequency, then tune in the FM on the converter.
