Sound Wiring Harness, lets you easily connect the radio wires without having to cut any of the car's wires.
I just put one of these (using this and this) in my '95 and love it so far.
You just need 4 new speakers.
If you intend to use the factory radio, or even just a cheap upgraded headhunt for smartphone connectivity at any point in the future, these JVC speakers will easily fit the bill, $27 for the pair and can handle a little bit more wattage than the factory radio. For ease of connectivity get yourself two sets of these speaker adapters too, cheap and keeps you from having to cut and crimp any wires in the doors.
If you want to modernize your truck a bit, Boss sells a decent bluetooth and USB enabled head unit that will let you connect your smart phone like any modern car, it won't tell you much on the head unit's screen but it will give you a more powerful amplifier than the Ford factory unit for all of $24.
If you end up doing an upgraded head unit, get yourself a wiring harness adapter, unless you are color blind any body can easily install a new radio with one of these and no hacking/cutting required.
