Which Radio?

I'm working on installing a CB radio and an aftermarket radio in place of the stock radio. I was wondering if there was a certain radio that works best for this application. Any ideas?

Someone on here did it, go look for a thread that I started in The Next Generation forum and called "What CB and Why" I think he put pics up in there.

You need a CB with a front firing speaker and mic jack.

The only ones I've found are the Uniden Pro538W and the Cobra WXST2 (billybob69 has) They both have proper dimensions to fit in the double iso adapter with minimal trimming. I think I'm going with the tuned Uniden. I got the adapter off Ebay already. Links below.

Makes a nice clean installation, even on old units!

Just be aware of the depth of the unit. That's why my sticks out so far.

Later...
