Headunit question

Has any one had any success putting a stereo in a 8th gen (87-91) F150 that had a touchscreen. I was looking at the BOSS Audio BVCP9700A-CFL and was curious had tried anything similar to it. And if you have how big a screen you recon can fit there?

One member installed a "joying" stereo in their 9th gen. 8" screen. I don't know how different a 8th gen is.

The difference between the 8th and 9th gens is where the ac system and headunit are. 8th gen has the headunit below and further in the dash ,and the 9th gen has it above and further out do it's easier to fit a double din with a simple kit.

I didn’t look for that gen, but take a look at crutchfiled.com, they used to have a lot of options with wiring ready to go.
