I want to install my XM radio using the hard wire kit which plugs into the
XM roady 2 unit and also plugs between the 2004 Dodge radio.  Since the last
time I installed a radio in a car a few years ago things have changed. Where
one plugs the regular radios antenna into the back of the radio the
connectors are different. I need to obtain some adapters which will change
both the trucks radio and the end of the trucks antenna cable back to the
old fashioned type.  Any ideas?  I don't know why Dodge or mother Chrysler
had to change them in the first place.

Your best bet is a car stereo shop.

Look in the passenger side kick panel.  You may find the old style connector
in there.

I installed the same FM modulator in my '03 (same as your '04).  Mount the
modulator below the radio (behind the center bezel).  Route the antenna
wires behind the glove compartment, to the passenger-side kick panel (kick
panel and door sill trim come off in one piece).  Find the antenna wire
there, and it will have the GM-style connectors, and plug right into the
modulator wires.
