I researched it before I started looking, appears they wire up just like the normal factory decks from the era. I used these links:

http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/...etail/438.html 78-87 truck

It does appear my new deck has two extra wires, which I am guessing is for constant and ground, probably for clock/memory? I was going to get the for sure on that from a radio guru here before wiring it up.
It mounts in a square hole, and the dash had to holes with slip on U nuts that a bolt went through to help secure the front, and then the same sort of rear support bracket, just shaped a little differently. I also noticed, while trying to find a radio from a local junkyard, this radio (like a lot of GM electronics) went in to a ton of different models. Seems I was getting hits on stuff like bonneville, tornado, 6000, astro, park avenue etc.

Let me know if you need further photos or anything.
