oh...I thought you were talking about the ground for the HU. Go to www.installdr.com and check out the wiring colors for your truck.

The title of your article doesn't say to which truck you are referring, I assumed that it was a late model f-150. If so these wire details should be pretty accuratefor all models.
I grabbed this from an install article on another site, hope it helps.
I took this excerpt from this article on installs

"Wiring details:
I used the factory wiring. I cut off the special connector, and soldered the wires that came with the speakers on to the ends. These colors refer to the wires right at the speaker, they are not necessarily be the same as these further up in the harness, since in several cases there is an inline connector and a color change before you trace back to the radio.
I can verify the color codes for the SuperCab, but I took the ones for the regular cab out of the manual. Note that there is only one difference. Note also that the first color is the predominant wire color, and the second is the color of the stripe on the wire.
Wire Color (super cab) Color (regular cab)
Left Front (+) Orange/Lt Green same as SC
Left Front (-) Lt Blue/White same as SC
Right Front (+) White/Lt Green same as SC
Right Front (-) Dk Green/Orange same as SC
Left Rear (+) Orange/Red Grey/Lt Blue
Left Rear (-) Brown/Pink Tan/Yellow
Right Rear (+) Orange/Red same as SC
Right Rear (-) Brown/Pink same as SC
Take your time, be careful, and good luck!"
