Removing 1962 Impala am radio

What exactly are you having a problem with?? I took the radio out of my '62 about 2 years ago and don't recall any issues or difficulty. I removed my glovebox and went from there. I think there is a bracket on either the side or rear that supports it. Nuts are on the control knobs. Maybe an assembly manual would help, Carmine.

It's on the back of the radio to cool a big transistor
What's a big transistor???
Thought for a moment he had a heated sink under the dash!!!

My turn......the heatsink stores warm air in Aug. and Sept. and then releases it in Jan. and Feb. to help keep the car warm.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on guys. You all know it's a heatstink. When someone passes gas it sucks it up and stores it. When a $hitty song comes on, it releives itself that way through the speakers.

You guys are much too funny 
. I still never heard of this. Not saying it doesn't exist, but is a pic possible?? I'm assuming the radio is still in the dash, so this might not be possible, Carmine.
I just googled heat sink and it showed a few pics. It's that finned thing on the back of a radio. Says it transfers energy. I've seen that before on radios and never new what it was. Still don't know why it would be a problem for removal.

ok been down to the garage for the photos. I have 2 61 cars and one 62 car and took photos of each. Sorry about photo quality as had to take them with my cell phone as my wife has the good digital camera with her!
I have had the radio out of the convertible 61 to verify the date of build but never took pictures of the "heatstink"
