right above the gas pedal under the dash is the radio's control box/tuner/amp. the whole shi-bang.

I'd be surprised if any pre '94 trucks with OEM radios still work.

Those factory amps go out all the time.
Replacing it isn't that hard. Gotta relocate the amp power/speaker wires to the center of the dash.

I was wondering what that box was under the dash, haha.

Audiophile what do you mean I need to relocate te wire to the center of the dash ??

The plugs that plug into the amp are the same wires that will power your aftermarket radio. Just take the amp out, unplug it, and pull the tree-clip loose in the dash and the wires will reach the factory cassette location easily.
