I've seen a shelf system installed above the rear view mirror and the radio mounted to it. I don't think it will work with an older (larger) radio.
I think it was this one... AZ Truck Accessories | Vertically Driven Products*Shelf-It Overhead Storage Shelf*
I kind of want one for my truck.

I just replaced the headliner in my 1995. There was two layers of metal for maybe 5 to 6 inches from the windshield...so be careful there. Should be plenty room to mount your shelf, but again be careful.

I made a bracket like the one the radio came with cept longer arms and mounted it to the roof right above the mirror in that extra piece of metal. i'll see if i can't get pictures. works good i think have it up there out the way not many sit in the middle and i can hide the wires in the trim up there.

I've got my Galaxy 959 hung under the dash just above the stick shift. Its a tight fit, but it works. Personally, I'm not a fan of overhead radios in my daily driver, as that's the same spot I keep my Stetson.
If you want, I'll snap a picture or two of the mount with the radio in it.
