How To Install a DIN Radio in a 73-79 Ford F-Series

In this video, I show the basic steps for mounting/installing a DIN or modern style full face radio in 73-79 Ford trucks. There is not a install kit, its all DIY modification. Its not very hard to install one, but it can be tricky if you've never worked on these trucks or have never installed a radio before, this should help you out.

what do you do if the wires dont match up and you dont have a factory wire plug? im trying to do it on a 88 ranger.

[76hotrodF250]

@stihlman44 Your just going to have to wire it from scratch. That is what I had to do in my truck. I ran new power wires to the fuse box, and new wires to the speakers and amplifier.

Nice vid, but what up with the rebel flag and ss stickers? No offense intended I was just wongering.

[76hotrodF250]

@Fantastic7776 Rebel flag yes, SS stickers NO! I think you might have confused the Summit Racing sticker on my glove box door, as it has that similar style "S".

[stihlman44]

@76hotrodF250 ahh ok well that sucks, but thatnks for tellin me how.
