Default 2010 F150 XL Head Unit change

we're about to take delivery of a 2010 F150 XL, but it comes with the integrated AM/FM stereo.

Does anyone know how to go about swapping this out for a single DIN head unit?

In the '06 we just swapped out the double din for a new unit, but this truck has the integrated stereo with the dash piece built for it.
