The truck hasn't had a working radio since I bought it. Unless you consider AM radio which is rather dull unless you like CBC radio. I had a stereo from a previous vehicle so I went to wal-mart got the face plate and wiring adapter install took about 45min it's fairly simple when you have wiring diagrams.

Good for you. A radio makes driving-riding much nicer. An almost must have. Diesel clatter or a hot cam is a good substitute but if the engine is tame-boring I miss a radio.
 
Nice. Going to have to do that to mine. It was fleet ordered with a plain AM/FM radio. likely if they could have deleted it altogether they would have.
 
Im trying to figure out wut to do on a 93 aftermarket radio where in the heck does a guy start with wires i cant even find the antenna wire at all its got to ne in there somewhere
 
I highly recommend buying a new unit through Crutchfield and a wiring kit to go with it. The instructions they send are great and you also can get online or phone help with the installation. I also would suggest one with bluetooth so you can use the radio for talking while still driving.with both hands.
 
The radio's in that era truck have a tuner, an amp and a separate cassette player if so equipped.

The amp is down at the foot peddles. IIRC that is where the ant. is.
