Quick radio question

So I have a stock radio and an FM radio under the dash and only one antenna, I have found a splitter on line but they say it uses a Motorola plug. Anybody know if the originals are Motorola plugs?
Thanks,

The Metra UV44 splitter is what you need.

Dumb question to go with the OPs - I also have a working original AM radio and the original antenna. Will a modern FM radio work on the same antenna or do they have different requirements?

The Truck acting as a Ground Plane I don't see what the issue would be. Put Newer Radio's in older Trucks and never had an Issue.
