I like making thread titles lol i have my radio from my 78 k20. Good radio and i WILL NOT cut my dash n all for a cd player. I want a good old tuner. Problem is how does this plug in? I have a t shaped plug from my 77 c30 harness so how will this work? Suggestions? I know grey is lights, yellow power n black ground. Help?

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
And radio back side. It's like a flat rectangle plug?

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
If I remember right it's a 2 part plug that fits in the back of the am radio.
If the truck had am radio that other plug in should be in the dash. 73-87 van and truck audio is for the most all interchangeable.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
Does it look rectangular like the radio backing but only have 2 wires to it (to single speaker in dash?) if so i have that plug, but am unsure how to combine them to make my needed plug.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
The radio plug is three seperate plugs if I remember correct. Blue, brown, white/cream. Look like these:
![]() At least on my truck with factory front corner and rear corner speakers. I pulled out that AM/FM analog radio that you have shown and I put in the factory Digital AM/FM/Cass that takes that 4th plug in the picture I posted.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
I have the 3rd one down. It has just the 1 dash speaker. I'll be replacing it later and splicing because i'ma put 2 in the back corners.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
I have the same radio connector for the radio I got for mine (out a of a Buick)
Look up Metra 71-1677-1. Its a repair harness connector. What I used. Worked great. ![]()

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
Does it come with instructions on how to hook up? Like what wire goes where? I bought one the other day from Walmart, and it came with no instructions. no wonder they were on sale!

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
The wiring diagram is crudely stamped into the top of the radio case.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
X2 on the stamp. Front center or back corner (by the connector)
That metra is a repair plug. It has female connectors. Walmart normally just has the male connectors (what you would plug into the factory connector) I *think* this is the correct pin: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...2&postcount=13 That labels orange as memory..essentially 12v constant.

Re: Video Killed the Radio Star!
Yes, find a station you want with the dial, pull the preset button/flat OUT, and then push it back in to set it.
