Yes, with the exception of the knobs, that does appear to be a correct radio for a 66 Chevy truck. The manual tune AM radio for that application would be model # 986771. And although the sticker isn't completely intact, it does look like the numbers could be a match.

The outer (volume & tuning) knobs on there now are the style that was used on 63 full-size Chevy cars & Corvettes. The correct knobs should be black plastic styled to match the truck's headlight, wiper, and choke knobs.

I don't recognize the original application for the inner (tone control) knob/ring that's on the left, but the inner knob/ring on the right looks to be correct for a 64-66 truck.
