From stock radio, to cheesy 80's aftermarket, back to stock. Need help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need help with the installation of a stock '69 AM radio. The po removed the original, and installed a crappy AudioBarn tape player. I just want to go back to stock for the original sound and feel. I found an original GM period correct AM radio on eBay. I also have the stock in dash speaker.

I can see that the wires to the stock speaker are missing. Not sure about power either. It was likely changed. I see a blue cord that's left behind from the old stereo I removed.

So, how do I wire this up? Am I going to need to buy some stock wires of some sort?

Thanks

This is a factory radio harness.The red goes to the fuse block. The green and black are to the speaker.

If you do not have the proper wires for the radio. You can make your own with crimp on female connector with a insulated cover, and some wire.
