Ralph,
  No flame here.  If Dave Newell says it's so that's good enough for me.  
Sure is news though.  After reading this I did some more research and found in an 
early '66 Chevrolet accessory brochure that a Nova/ChevyII could not be 
ordered with AM-FM.  I assume then that it wasn't offered in '65 either so the 
radio I have can't be from a Nova. Maybe someone out there can verify this?  Since 
it has the provisions for the multiplex I doubt it can predate 1965. I will 
stick my neck out again and say my radio is from a late '60's Chevrolet pickup 
since they look very similar in design to an EM radio.  I don't have enough 
literature to substantiate this though.
