Default 1969 Radio U69 option

Can anyone here tell me what years/model GM cars/trucks would have used the same radio (U69 am/fm non stereo) as a the 69 Corvette? I'm guessing it wasn't a Corvette specific part. Thanks, Rick

Corvette radios were Corvette-specific until 1977.

No part number. Just looking for a replacement for the original radio that came in it. I had hoped they came in other gm cars but that was wishful thinking. Rick

That was one of the reasons for the console redesign for the 77 model year - obviously, it was cheaper to use the same Delco radios as the other GM vehicles. Having Corvette-specific radios was an annoying and pointless expense.
