wires for the radio?

[cybrfire]

Black
Yellow
Gray

Which one is what? I can't hook up a battery currently but would like to reassemble the dash. Anybody?

This what is shown in my book. Take note that normally the RED is ACCY and the YELLOW is HOT at all times.
Yellow - Hot in Accy/Run
Orange - Hot at all times
Black - Ground
Those are for the power section. The speaker color wires are different depending on weather you had a 2 or 4 speaker setup.

Also look here.

Black and Yellow are as readymix described. Gray, white, green and purple are typically your speaker wires.

I guess there probably wasn't any reason for a Always hot wire for clock memory or such when these trucks were built back in the day.

I usually hook both my PWR(red or orange depending on radio brand) and the memory wire (yellow wire) to the extra plug in spots on the fuse box

My stereo has a wiring diagram sticker on it. I'm sure you would have noticed if your did though, but you might want to double check.

These are the wires from the dash. Just tying the CD player into the existing wiring.

Ah! Mine was a military blazer, so there weren't no existing radio wiring.
