Describe the radio problem.
Is it static, or ignition clicking?
Does it get worst at higher rpm's?
Have you installed an antenna yourself?
Was the noise always there?
When did it start?
I have read of a TSB for a radio noise (vehicle unknown, maybe Ford) due to a poor ground on the fuel pump.

AM radio problem
Had similar problem with '89 Ranger. AM radio had lots of static, FM side was fine. The static would increase on left turns and acceleration, and disappear on right turns and braking. This was not ignition noise. The problem was not in the radio itself, as the same noise would appear on a portable radio.
The noise would come in waves, and sound like the sloshing of liquid. I had long suspected the fuel tank/pump, but sold the truck before doing anything about it.
