Any single-din size radio will fit, but you will have to do some judicious cutting of the dash to create a hole for the sleeve to slip into. When you do it correctly, the trim will finish it all off and it will look nice. Screw up and get the hole too big and you will have blown it.

The alternative is one of the aftermarket, nee Custom Autosound units that have two shafts to fit the existing mounting. Problem is, I read more negative comments on those radios than I read on cutting a dash.

It's your truck and it's your choice.
