They make a plug that is color coded to the wires on your stereo and plugs directly into the factory radio plug. That is what I used to install my stereo. It cost like $10.

The wiring diagrams for the radio itself is in PDF files for the owners manuals available on RF's website .

I have them saved to my PC too .

As for using an adapter to the factory wiring , you will not have the memory 12 volt wire in a 76 blazer at the wiring plug . You'd have to tap into either the lighter circuit , or into a bat terminal on the fusebox ( preferred ) . I used the lighter circuit in one of my trucks , but have no lighter anyway .

You original truck wiring is :

yellow = 12v+
black = ground
gray = light dimmer from headlight switch

I don't know the speaker color code , as the speakers harness plugged right into the radio , and I don't have the factory speaker wiring anymore . My other truck had just the mono speaker in the dash and that one had the speaker right to the radio too .

I just use one of the little radio transmitters. You can get 'em at Wal-Mart for about $20. Monster Cable also makes a sweet one which powers the iPod at the same time. Got it for free, so I don't know what the retail is.
