1997 Ford E350 SMB Radio Wiring Questions

Anyone know what the wiring schematic is for the stock tape deck/radio on my 1997 Ford E350 SMB from sportsmobile west? Looked all over the web and cant find a schematic that shows the three serial posts that mine has. Exasperating trying to wire in a new stereo...
Thanks guys!

Well, you could have the SMB Radio Switch witch would be on the switched power input, and obviously anyone could have made modifications. I guess I don't understand what you mean by Serial Post also. But it does sound like you might have some non traditional wiring. Sorry I couldn't help.

I thought of the SMB "radio switch" too, since it can be a confusing thing (at least it was in my 1997 SMB, and from discussions here I don't think I was the only one). But it sounds like you are talking about something else?

Yeah, I don't understand "serial post" either. Can you take some pics and post them? My 98 was pretty standard IIRC. Can't say for certain that it aligned with the wires posted above, but I seem to recall that I got the schematic off the web and it worked.
