CB Radio
I was trying to fiqure out where exactly to mount my cb radio, and I was wondering if I removed the stock radio would I be able to fit a cb radio and an aftermarket radio in its' place? Has anyone ever tryed this? I haven't measured it yet but it looks like it might be big enough of an opening.

Right here....It was me.......
Yes...it will fit...with the right cb.
Just make sure whatever brand you get...it has the speaker (unless using an external speaker), is on the front and the mic jack is on the front.
The CB I have is a touch wider than the standard width so I had to trim the edges a little for it to fit in the trim kit. Inside the dash, I had to trim out a flange at the top and the bottom of the dash opening for both to fit....but the trim kit secures the setup by snapping into place against the sides.
Mine is a 99 though.....may want to double check yours if it is a different year to make sure the opening is the same.

Thanks! Actually turned out better than I expected. Especially for a trim kit off of EBay....But it was actually pretty easy.
