With the new radio and everything did you have to replace the wood grain or were you able to find one that fit?

Nope they have kits and radios that fit right where the stock radio is

Does it have a 6 disc or single disc? I assume its a double din 6 disc style radio..

A well cared for '06 with 91,000 miles has many miles and years left in it.
Since you're not a mechanic, take it to a mechanic or a friend with good mechanical knowledge for inspection.
The 2006 does not have all of the latest technology which can be good via less electronics to create problems.
A decent back up camera is available at Costco for $100. New radio HU can run from $100 on up depending on what you want.
My '04 has 87,000 miles, runs and looks great. I love it and plan to keep it for at least several more years. No mechanical issues so far. Just getting ready to replace brakes for first time.

I actually am taking it straight to my mechanic on the test drive so he can take a look at it. Hopefully everything will be all set, i know it has brand new brakes and tires, fingers crossed

Haha, I almost posted the link of where I'm getting it but figured that would be a bad idea... Someone on this forum might be able to beat me there before Saturday and take her from me before I even had a chance

"A customer can have a car painted any color he wants, as long as its black"

nice choice though, I'd like to think our fellow forum members wouldn't steal your truck-to-be lol
