WWW.CRUTCHFIELD.COM is a great site for info, parts, etc. You may buy the stuff somewhere else because Crutchfield is a bit pricey, but their service and knowledge base is possibly the finest on the web.

Do like the rest of us. Get the part numbers from Crutchfield, then order the parts on e-bay or from another vendor.

Getting the part number is half the work sometimes.
Scosche and Metra make most the parts sold. The harness and the install kit are all you need to swap head units.

I work on the newer model F150 so don't have the exact part numbers at my fingertips.

The Scosche parts tend to be better than the Metra, cheaper too. Over here you can get those at any Walmart.

Again, just get the part numbers and search. I know you can get those parts in the UK.

70-1771 is the metra number for harness. It should fit all the Heritage body styles.

METRA PART # 99-5804 for the dash kit.

This all assumes you are putting a single din unit in the truck. This is everything you need to put a standard single din Alpine, Pioneer, etc. straight into a Heritage body.

Of course there are closer vendors but these two will ship to the UK.

Just search with those part numbers in google and you should get some hits closer.
