1986 F150 - anybody have one gathering dust or know where I can get one - CHEAP!

junk yards are full of them bet not over $15.00 make sure you take the plug and at lease 2 ft of the wire harness. ford seems to change the plugs often.

I wish you needed one for a '92 Chevy. i have one in the garage that's been collecting dust for 10 years. AM/FM/Cassette tape.

Been to two of them thus far and neither one had on - going to another tomorrow.

I was trying to find one for a dodge car a while back. Turns out they aren't as easy to find as I figured. :smack:

you might want to check www.craigslist.org or teenager in your area and see if you can find a non factory radio. might pick one up for a $20.00 ford radios are not all that good when they were new.

I also tried a couple of stereo shops around to see if they had one they had pulled out of a vehicle to put a new one in. They were all real quick to tell me they always give them back to the customer, but I figure the customer doesn't always want them. Might be worth a try if you got somebody in your area that installs aftermarket radios.

Barry,

Not sure what the plugin is like on yours, but this one might fit:

This one says it will fit 86-97, so you may be in luck:

Both are cheap!

Thanks Wess - but the connectors are different than the one I have - there might be a harness somewhere I could get though.

 

[Wes Ramsey]

Ah, well, I tried :biggrin: I don't know of a harness that'll make a different year model OEM radio work, but any place that sells electronics should have an adapter that'll fit any aftermarket stereo. They're pretty proud of 'em though. Check out Crutchfield.com - they include installation kits and adapters with all their stereos, and even with shipping it's usually cheaper than buying Walmart trash.

Thanks all - I got one this morning at the local junkyard!
