i have a friend who has a 1970 international scout and he doesnt have a radio in it. and there are wires everywhere, if anyone has a wiring diagram so that i may know which wire goes to which which car audio and other accessories in the vehicle. and do companies still sell harnesses and dash kits and antenna adapters for that vehicle?

I doubt it, and why bother?

Run new wires for speakers (even if the old ever existed).

Run power from the battery. (Through a relay if to be IGN or ACC controlled.)

Fit & route an antennae to suit.

That baby is not going to need an antenna adaptor.

Metra has nothing at all listed for any International vehicle. I seriously doubt that anybody would make anything for your vehicle. Is there a radio in the dash now? If so there will be a switched power wire leading to the radio. You will have to find a constant wire. Maybe at the cigarette lighter or to the battery.

And don't forget to fuse that wire at the source. Does the ign switch have an ACC position?
