Radio wiring diagram?

I'm about to install the Kenwood stereo from my old truck into my '90, but I need to know which wires do what thing. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the plug? I plan on just splicing in spade connectors to the stock harness, since that's how I did it on my old one and it makes the stereo easier to swap if I need to.

Thanks!

I just went to walmart and bought a $10 adapter for my truck. I only used the 12v, 12v ign, and ground since i ran all new speaker wires.

What he said. No sense hacking the connector off the factory harness when you can just plug in.

They actually have that? I couldn't even find one for my '03 except at Best Buy and it was like $20. Wasn't going to hack the connector off though, I was just going to splice into its wires.
