I think people are running Uniden Pro's in that spot:

And the antenna probably depends if you are gonna run power thru it, keep it on full time, want best possible transmission or good looks.

For the '89 to '95 truck and '90 to '95 4Runners, the Uniden 520 fits the lower DIN tray, and also the Cobra 18 I believe.

Here is the Uniden 520 in Jim's '89 truck.
He likes the radio so much, he went with the same model in his '84 truck also.

You can tune this radio from a shop to around 15 watts output too.
Jim's new one in his '84 is putting out that much after an "inside" tuneup.

Hey! I've got a Cobra 18 mounted below my CD player in the extra 1 din slot. It's hooked up to a 3' Firestick II antenna mounted on my fender. Not sure if this antenna is the best or not, but it has worked out so far! I got my CB, mount, and wire at www.onestopelectronics.com.

Hope that helps!
Have fun.
