stereo wiring
I have an '89 F-150 that I am wanting to put an after market radio in, but the factory clips are missing, does anyone know where i can get a set and roughly what it would cost?
Thanks

I've always cut mine off and spliced the wires. I'm too cheap to buy the correct harness. A Haynes or Chilton manual will have a decent enough wiring diagram to help you out with the truck end, and the installation manual for your radio will everything from that end. Or you could go to a junk yard and cut one out or from Ford. Either way you will be splicing wires.
Sorry not much help here.

for all who are wondering what I meant by the wire colors are odd, I mean that they are like orange with a green stripe, orange with a black stripe, white with a green stripe, green with a yellow stripe, yellow with a black stripe, blue with a red stripe, and 2 black with white stripes
