A whole "gob" of Ford radios fit and plug right in, I just put a CD player from a 2000 Ranger in a 2001 Explorer, the Mach system on the expo had extra plugs (for the amp and sub) that had nowhere to go on the Ranger radio, but it still fed all 4 speakers and the tweeters just not the sub. Sounded just fine. I replaced it because the display was dead on the mach.
I'm pretty sure anything out of a Ford that is 2DIN and has those 4 holes for the removal tool will fit.
I have a radio from a F150 that worked just fine, same 4 holes.
I had a radio from a 97 expo that fit physically but the plugs were different.
I have a cassette model out of a 98 ranger that has the right plug, and one from a 99 expo (cassette and CD!) that has the same plug. So I'm thinking 98 forward was the same plug.
I would hit a junk yard with a set of Ford radio removal tools (real cheap, looks like 2 bent coat hangers) and see what you can find. Anything with the "Mach" logo on it will drive the stock speakers better, they had a slightly more powerful amplifier for the main speakers. The sub had an amp of its own.
