    Head unit and speaker recommendations.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone, My truck was a previous fleet unit as a result the radio is AM-FM. All I want is a head unit with a single disc player and the ability to connect my IPOD. I also want to upgrade the factory speakers. What manufactures would you all recommend? Thanks.
