Hey Kansafornia,
I will take some pics of the radio in my F250.It appears to be the same as in the schematic Bill posted above. My speaker is in the top of the dash however and looks to a nice installation. I also believe there is a script Ford logo on it. Not sure about Ford but you could get a factory installed radio in a Chevy pickup in 1963. Seems like that by '63 the major mfgs should have been installing radios at the factory (but perhaps not).
Might be a day or two before I can get some pics but I will get some up either in this thread or the one I created.
I'd love to see the pics to better understand layout and dimensions, Erik. Much appreciated!
6 sides of the radio - sans front cover (which is now back in the truck).
The only markings I find are on the Bendix 2N257 MIL transistor; which is both time period correct and used throughout much of their product line.
There was something stuck to the bottom of the radio chassis at some point. (Perhaps a mfr sticker?) I've checked under dash and its not there so whatever it was has been lost to the sands of time...
No embossing anywhere that I can find. Maybe I'll take it apart this afternoon and see if there are any internal clues.

1962 (22BT) and 1963 (32BT) supplements I have say to look to the 1961 (12BT) manual. While it does look like a good factory cutout, Ford engineering doesn't mention any other radios. But, I do note your truck has a DSO of 721161 making it a special order. Perhaps that radio was part of that order.
Good Evening,
Attached are a couple shots of the radio and speaker. I could not see a FoMoCo (or FOMOCO) logo on it like everything else on the truck seems to have. Might want to ignore all the dirt and grime, sorry I still need to give it a good scrub.
