factory radio slot

can anyone tell me if they ever made the dashes in the '80s chevy trucks to fit anything other than a knob style radio?? stopped at a shop the other day and the guy said that they did make them that way for a few years, but i've never seen them that way.

Re: factory radio slot

I believe the 89-91 burbs and blazers had the bigger radios in them.
