Just get the dashkit for it. its like 10 bucks. they look fine.

What kind of ford is it? ill even give you the model number you need. ive never seen a ford kit that didnt look nice. And putting a half way decent head unit in versus using a line out converter and eq would be a MUCH better choice. And depending on what kind of ford it is some of them you can get some decent cash for a working factory radio.
