04 head unit swap...

Will the 04 F150 head unit fit in a 99 F150? I know they are both double din openings, but do they have the same/similar mounting brackets?

There mounting set ups are very differnt, the 99 will have the push clips that has the holes on either side of the radio to get out. The 04 ups have a bolt in radio

Good to know. I swapped out my 98 radio and ended up beating it to death since the clip tool wasn't working. It was traveling on other side and actually forcing the clip further into the catches. Bent the tools also and tossed them after buying my boss replacements. Funny thing is a neighbor saw me just finishing up and pointed to his vette and asked if I was good with radios. I picked up the defaced original unit and said only, "If I can use a claw hammer." Don't get me started about the wife's Honda Civic. Thankfully I was able to find the proper way before I got stupid on it also.
