Recommend the Cobra 75 WX ST. A search will turn up dozens of threads on installing. If you'd prefer a full-blown radio with lots of flashing lights and twisty knobs, you might consider installing this rack ...

A good quality CB at relatively low cost is the President Harry II. I've run one for years and it's been superb. As for mounting, you can utilise the bracket that comes with it to mount it above the mirror, which I find is a very handy place to have it:

I was looking for a (full blown radio) I couldn't find many listings for the president Harry II, Is there any other models I should know?

Yes, you simply bolt the bracket to the trim above the review mirror. It will allow you to remove the radio easily via two screw knobs whilst the bracket remains in place.

Take a look at the Johnny III, in that case:
