antenna adapter? need help

I have been told that I need an antenna adapter... I am putting a 2008 Ford F150 radio into my 04 F150 truck and the antenna plug don't match the newer radio...
I need to know how to make the 04 antenna work with the 08 radio. Where do I get such a thing?

Found one

I finally found a guy at Crutchfield that understood what I wanted... Thanks.
Most of the local shops asked me to take the radio back out and bring it into the store.

Thanks for the help. I was able to find the right adaptor at a local audio store. Its actually a chrysler antenna adaptor. It plugged right in and works awesome. My truck is a 2005 f150, and i mounted a radio from a 2008. I did notice that the sub hits way harder with the 2008 head unit

Hi, I have the same problem with a 2007 OEM stereo hooking up to a 2005 f150 antenna. Can you tell me the place and part number where you found the adapter? Thanks

Get a hold of Crutchfeild, they’ll get you set up with the right adapter.
