Let's see those CB Radios

I just won my Cobra 25 LTD Classic with side mounting mic on eBay for exactly $50 shipped. It's going ride under my HU. I'm just excited to get idea of what it will look like. So how about some pix of those CB Radios out there?

did you measure the depth? when i tryed to put my cobra 29 under mine in was to shallow of a hole and would stick out to far for the top gears shifting.


EDIT: i cant remermber if the 25 is shorter then the 29

I know you have my photobucket saved as one of your favorits but here are the pics your asking for.




the cb will stick out some and the handset connection comes vary close to the shifter. remember i have a body lift and when i to the drive train lift it my not work. so far it a good spot and if i run into problems i could always tweak the shifter.

Researched the dimmentions in comparison:
25: 8.5 x 6.25 x 2.125
29: 8.625 x 7.25 x 2.25

I hope I can get away with the shifter not being away. My radio also has the side-mounting mic, so I won't have to worry about that part getting in the way.
