Had my factory radio stolen from my truck. (Wire harness was cut.) Bought a FM mps3 deck to replace original. Question is wire diagram I found on line lists the ground wire as being black/light green. I see two wires with that color. Do I take my black ground wire from the deck and connect it to the other two?

You do not need both wires. One is for the radio section and one is for the amplifier section. Both wires go to the same ground point on the truck. Either one will work for your ground wire.
