Need Help finding Adapter Kits

Hey yall,
I just got a 1982 F-150 XLT Lariat in great condition, except I really want to upgrade the audio. I was hoping someone could tell me what is the best mounting kit for modern stereo's in a 1982 F-150. Anyone got ideas?

I appreciate any help.

Call metra, they make about 75% of the kits out there. I was on the phone with them twice today, nice people and they can get you nearly anything audio related. I think the website is metraonline.com
