I have an older radio that was put into my truck......and the PO cut the dash to put it in....its still an AM only radio.....but I don't think the truck was originally optioned with a radio.....my question is this, can anyone give me the dimensions that I need to open up this opening to, to fit an aftermarket radio? How hard is the installation of a radio into one of these trucks? (I am going to be installing hidden speakers in the doors, and possibly two small 3" speakers under the dash.

incase anyone is wondering, I think I will be installing the kenwood ez500....its a pretty nice looking, classic design, two actual knobs, and a face that flips over when the radio is shut off to show a flat black panel.
