i have the dash pulled out and wires everywhere
 
You should have a factory harness adapter for the new stereo. With the harness adapter, it should have the colors of the new stereo harness. You would just have to match the colors together and use crimp-on ends.

Most major auto makers use the same wire colors year after year . However, Ford does not consistently use the same wire colors. Two identical vehicles can have different wire colors depending upon the year of the vehicle where different models may have completely different wire colors from all other Ford vehicles. Ford uses 3 wiring configurations which makes it difficult to accurately show correct radio wire configurations and wire colors.

Standard wire harness connectors: this connector design is for basic radios but many times one vehicle model has different wire colors from another vehicle model.

Premium or amplified wire harness connectors: these connectors are used with JBL, Mach, and other Ford amplified radio systems. One connector has all wires contained inside a gray data cable and these wires should never be cut.

Common ground wiring: Older Ford vehicles used a common ground wiring method or in other words they only used one ground
wire for all speakers in the vehicle.
