I would try it as long as the square face has opposing corner mounting lugs. Some don't. I know you will have to update the wiring/connectors etc from the old 78 dash stuff. I think the radios in ram full size trucks were square faced until 2002 model.

Back when I helped a friend build competition stereo systems, we always used the chrysler style wiring harness/plugs. It's petty easy to find the wiring diagram online. I'd just run new speaker wire, but you could use the existing wiring also. You'll have a constant power, remote power/switched, ground then the 4 speaker wires... they are same color per speaker with a tracer. Really not much different than installing an aftermarket head unit.
