Is it this simple?
#1
Right now I just have an AM/FM radio in my truck. It is fine for just listening to the radio, but I would really like to have a cassette player too. I looked on eBay and the AM/FM/cass double din Ford radios seem to be pretty inexpensive, so I think I will just get a factory replacement. From what I have gathered online, all that is involved in replacing one factory radio with another is removing the black radio and A/C control surround and pulling the radio out with the removal tools and of course unplugging the wiring harness, then plugging the harness into the new radio and putting everything back together. Is that it or am I missing something? I could save a lot of money doing all of this myself, so I want to know what all has to be done.

Crutchfield does include the mounting kits and harnesses, everything you need. It may cost you an extra buck or two, but it really is the way to go. I spent 10 min at a soldering station here at work soldering the harnesses (Kenwood harness to Crutchfield supplied Ford harness) together and then like 5 min flat later on plugging things in in the truck. The harnesses make it idiot proof and entirely reversable if you decide to sell/trade the truck but not the deck..
