Can someone please tell me what the big differences are between a truck AM / FM and a van AM / FM? Just wondering.

The "Delco" on the lens is in script on a truck, block letters on a van radio. The drum station numbers are more elongated on a truck radio, whereas the van radio has smaller block style numbers. The plug in for the antenna on a truck radio is straight, the van plug in is angled. I think that is it. Someone will post pics illustrating the differences I am sure.
