Our 54 that I learned to drive in had some ugly thing sticking through the dash with wheels to change the station and volume with rather than knobs and buttons.

You could get dealer installed radios when you bought the truck or later and from what I have seen they came in several different styles over the years.

Haha no not cousins, but hey you never know. Anyways heres a pic I found of a pontiac dash. It looks the same besides the buttons
