remove the black panel, it will just clip off from one side to the other. Than you will find some hex screws, and I think you know what to do from there.

Or.......
Get a toggle bolt, insert it into the tape deck (be sure the toggles open), attach a chain and run it out the pass. side door, and wrap it around a tree. Get in the truck, floor it and drop the clutch.
She'll come right out!

lol that would work, but the first idea is what you need to do i think the bolts are 10mm but im not 100% sure on that and then it just slides out and the wires unclip from the back and then you get to have fun soldering wires for your aftermarket stereo ENJOY

I like that idea, exept i'd use the rear sliding window to feed the chain through.That way the deck will pull out straight and not on an angle!
