The shafts are longer than a truck radio so the knobs will stick out. There's only a collar on the tuning side and it's shorter than that used on trucks which will make the nose protrude more than a truck radio. You could fix that by using a piece of PVC pipe (or something) to fashion a collar of the required length to surround the existing. Then you'd need a collar on the right side where there isn't one. Then you need the cups for the shaft bushings. All that pulls the chassis against the inside of the radio opening. Just try sticking it in there and see if you can live with how it looks and you'll see what you need to do.
