Radio Wiring Help

Since I have not had a chance to clean and paint my new to me motor, I guess I should try and get my interior buttoned up. The truck had a radio and speakers in it when I bought it but nothing was hooked up (funny......) The PO did a hack job on the wiring. Now I can not even find the yellow, black, and gray leads to the radio coming out of the fuse box.

You guys have any ideas on how to wire this mickey flick?????? I have the leads out of a junkyard donor but, have no frickin idea on where to start. Some help would be much appreciated. Sure can't cruise without some tunes to listen to. I have a feeling that the truck left the factory sans the radio and it was hard wired into the electrical system at some point. Thanks in advance,

Mike

Re: Radio Wiring Help

My truck had a botched wiring job, too, had a radio but was ripped out. Used a multimeter to figure out what the wires were that were there, and tapped into the junction box under the dash on the drivers side. Although I realized that I tapped into the RUN wiring, not the ACC wiring, but it doesn't bother me so I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.
