Ok got a adapter..how do you wire it up??
Color to color?

Yep, color to color. I suggest soldering with heat shrink if you can. If not, you can use electrical tape or butt connectors

99% of the time its color to color. Just use the wiring instructions provided and then look for the big decal on the radio which should tell you what each color wire does. Verify that both are the same and then splice it in. I suggest NOT using cheap butt connectors and/or electrical tape. It doesnt hold up over time.

Does it look like a previous owner cut the OEM radio harness off and put something else in its place? Can you provide a picture of the stock harness in the truck?

Worse case if just hard wiring the new radio to the wires in the truck but you will have to figure out which wires in the truck go to what.

It cant just be 6 wires. You need 2 for every speaker and at a minimum that would be 4 for your truck if you just have front speakers. You then need
12V constant wire (this provides 12V to the radio at all times to save settings)
12V switched ignition. (this turns the radio on and off when the key is turned)
ground
illumination
dimmer (maybe)

Does this harness look like it will work?
