Andy,
It is a full size radio, http://www.valcoelectronics.com/cb/c18wxst.htm
I can send you some pictures tonight if I remember. I just dropped the
panel and drilled 2 holes into it. Yes, I reinforced the backside of the
panel with both a flat and lock washer. I installed the mic hanger to the
left of the lighter plug but at the same level. Everything is within easy
reach and does not interfere with anything.
Ken

Ken,
Is that a "full-size" CB or a handheld? Do you have any pictures? I
assume you drilled through the dash panel there and slapped a washer on
each side to prevent the bolt from coming through?
