Is it Round?

Check in the Members List for 1955 in their name and then check out their Gallerys. I'll bet you can see some of the interiors. I had a 55 car and it had that Round Faced Radio. Don't remember ever seeing that in a truck though.

They are not the same.

The truck used a round dial face with only a center control ****. The car radio uses a round face with push buttons below the dial.

And the speaker grills will only fit 53-55 the 56 ones wont fit the roof line.
