Radio Install - Need help with wiring.

Post by alvald83 »

I have a "69 F250, and will be replacing my factory radio with a VintageVibes classic look radio. Since i havent seen the factory wiring, i need some advice on what to expect once i get into the dash. And any connection advice you might have.

Mine is a '71. There is one wire with an inline fuse going to the back of the radio. There are 2 that go to the speaker. There is an inline connector for them close to the radio.

I answered another radio post and posted a diagram from my shop manual. Here's a link to the diagram:

the power for the original radio comes from a three pronged female connector behind the drivers side of the instrument cluster. just plug into that with an inline fuse and then run your speaker wires.
