It's not worth the hassle of dealing with it. A 2002 or older radio could work but you'd have to have the vehicle side of the radio plug and hack it into your 85's wiring. You're better off buying an aftermarket radio with a plug in wire harness. Less cutting and splicing and headaches. Plus you'll have a better sounding radio with more features.

Your best bet would be going out and buying an aftermarket head-unit.
