Default Where to mount CB radio?

Hey all,
Wondering where you all mounted your CB radio?
I've got a larger unit (Cobra 18wxst) and I can't figure out where I want it.
Input appriciated, pics also!
Thanks

Make a bracket that comes out of the top of the center dash panel would be my best idea.

Several people use the Cobra 75 and the only thing you have to mount is the speaker portion. The main unit gets tucked in out of the way. You can serch the forum and find several hits on it.
