Radio should have one wire for permanent 12v live (power+memory) and another connection going to your accessories wire to actually turn it on
If you look on the back of the ignition barrel it should be marked ACC

Don't think mine ever had a connection for an electronic radio (permanent live and switched live).
Mine just had the switched live = White with black tracer.

When yours was built radios were so different to what they are now it didn't need permanent live :lol: If had you truck I would get an original even if it didn't work, in it original mount point, and then a new one tucked away somewhere

With tapes you don't need the player to remember where you stopped it ;)
