Part # resourses
Does anyone know if there are any resources to determine if a specific part number will fit your truck. I have a 95 F150 and I'm looking to ugrade the am/fm radio to one with a CD. I looked on ebay and they are pretty pricy, but i've seen several others that are cheaper and look like they might fit, just want to be sure before I bid.
Thanks
Thanks

Also, most cars from 87 through 95 will fit as well, cars other than T-bird, Taurus, Continental, Town Car. These cars either have oddly shaped radios OR fancy electronics that have dependencies on light module electronics which your truck doesn't have.
We had an 89 tempo for a while that had AM/FM and cassette, but only used the car to/from the train station, a mere 5 minutes either way. My 93 crewcab had only AM, and I rack up the mileage on it almost every day, so I swapped the radios to give me FM and cassette. Straight swap, took me longer to cut clothes hangers as radio removal tools than it did to actually swap the radios.

No negative vibes, Moriarity
Got my Alpine in the Bronco (sold it, darn it) and the Pioneer in the F250 at an electronics store closeout for a song. $125.00 for the Alpine with a changer and $160.00 for the Pioneer with a changer. As my truck is my office and I spend all day in it going from job to job, I like my tunes. F-250 had Premium sound as did the Bronco and I had to go to Circuit City and get two harnesses that allowed for use of all speakers. The reason I say for a song is that the Alpine was a $450.00 unit and the Pioneer right at $500.00. The changer on the Pioneer fits perfectly under the "20" part of my 40-20-40 front seat. Go by a parts store and get the specialty tool required to pull the factory radios ($6.95 I think it was) before going to the salvage yard.
