Question Are 1960 61 62 factory radio all the same

My 1960 Apache truck has the radio delete plate and I want to put a factory correct radio in dash. Don't care if it works-just for looks. Just wondering if the 1960 1961 1962 radio are the same so I know what to look for.

I have only had 2 and did not look closely at them... however the 60 looked to be tube, and the 63 solid state.... but that won't be an issue for looks.

What's the piece on the side for? Mine matches the black & white photo also mines a '62 and has it. And noticed yours do not.

Looks like a heat sink and a transformer.

Jonz is right, 63 was the first year without tubes.
