I installed both in the space of the OEM radio.
I was only able to find one CB that is 1 DIN in size (the Cobra 18WX). I ordered the new head unit and a double DIN dash trim from Crutchfield. The mounting was straight forward but you will need to remove the dash bar (the same piece the double DIN radio install state).

It only shows single DIN because in order to mount a double DIN, you have to cut a piece out of the metal dash support because your typical aftermarket stereo is deeper than the factory unit. There is a good write-up on here someplace. If you need a link, I can find it for you later.

Would you say that the space in the dash was pretty much full when you put these two in? I have a Uniden PC68LTW CB that I want to install w/a single din cd player and am trying to figure out if they will fit together. The dimensions of my CB are 12.8 x 11.2 x 3 inches ; 5 pounds. Any idea if this would work?
