Need some help with a 56 ..6500

If you can wait until Tuesday I can scan and post a diagram I made out of info in the Factory Assembly Manual so I could figure out the same. No scanner here at the house.

If you find a source for a factory radio (or one that looks reasonably factory for a reasonable price - even a dummy radio face that looks like a radio and fits the factory holes) please let me know! I've been looking for something to fit in the stock location for a while and the aftermarket and reproduction ones I've found are neither good looking or priced low enough. Good luck with the truck!
