You need to get a single din kit, lots of people use them because most of the decks out there are single din decks. You can buy them from most car audio stores but make sure you get one that is either made for a Ford or Ranger.

Who wants to do that? only to redo it all when a new deck gets put in? I'm all about soldering wires...but soldering elbow deep in the dash? no thanks. Now...soldering the adaptor to the new radios harness....that's what I do.

you just need the 'mounting kit' for a ranger, the plastic thing that lets you put a skinny deck in the ranger, but to make it easier to connect, get a 'wiring harness' for a ford ranger, it's about 12 bucks at walmart. This thing lets you use the ranger's stock harness so you don't have to cut it off.That's all you'll need.

I'd recomend going to an audio store and asking them.. you can put ANY deck in that you want, I have a clarion double din which I think looks better than having a single din with the dash kit but I also paid a lot more money..
dont listen to that other guy, ALWAYS buy the wiring adapter so your stock radio harness does not get cut, you can reuse the adapter if you change radios and it makes for a far cleaner install (soldering still required)

Yeah you can pick up everything you need to mount it for $20 at Wal-Mart. If you need any help installing it I would be more then happy to help you with it/do it for you. Send me a PM. Ive installed 3. They are all pretty much the same.
BTW look in the Meet and Greets section, we have an MN meet coming up.
