2003 radio

I have a new to me 2003 F150 and it needs a radio, I can get a factory one from a savage yard for a $100 but I been thinking after market. Do the after market come with plate to reduce the size of the hole or will I have to buy something and will the radio come with a adapter plug to match the truck wiring.

You'd have to buy a wiring harness adapter and install kit for your truck separately.

and for stereos Car Stereos at Crutchfield.com

I have ordered from Crutchfield in the past and have had no issues with them. The nice thing about getting everything from them is you can get a discount on your installation gear and they also include the hooks to remove the factory unit.

I have bought several car stereos from Crutchfield. Great people, great products, and great prices. Usually the harness comes with the stereo for free.

I agree with Crutchfield. I bought a radio from the salvage yard for my truck. Going to crack the case on the first radio and solder the Rheostat that is bad. I like the stock look.
