Looks good but I don't have ac knobs mines an95

 

Should still be the same, the dash in the article is the same as yours I believe unless you have a pre-taco.

 

Do not follow those steps if you have an earlier model jus remove ac cover and all parts connecting beep ring plastic

on the 95 like mine pull the knobs off the control arms. remove a/c switch ( you can pull it) remove the cover where the a/c heater is at. ( help if you use flat blane screwdriver it pops right off. There are two screws one on the right hand side where the a/c control are and one on the top left look up you will see it. once both screws remove. push the air vents up and used the lip of the plastic and pull on it not hard. It will POP out (UNPLUG your hazhard switch) the bottom of it is in a groove just pull it up and out. there is your radio.

 

Exactly ^^ just installed a alpine last week
