I'll post my new set up soon. Just installed today. Didn't like the mounting location of the antenna or the antenna itself,but I can change that when I get my headache rack made in a few weeks.Got the Cobra 25 NW LTD Classic with night watch illumination front panel.Had the adjustment done to the antenna by the shop today and having the power done in a few weeks.

HERE ARE THE PICS.

No pics but my '88 had a Uniden 510 mounted to an overhead console.
My latest one isn't installed yet but will be between the seats on the hump, too big for anywhere else.

The location depends on three things, the size of the radio, if you can reach it and do you like it, said and done.

Get good grounds and tune the antenna are two more things to thin about.

i have virtually the same setup as "plumcrazy" in my 94 excect my Cobra 29 sticks out about an inch and a half. Plumcrazy - how did you get your cobra flush with the dash? I mounted a 4 ft. whip on my lumber rack. Gets a great signal. Pictures to come.

Sorry to bump an old thread...

Here's where I settled on for the Uniden 68 in my '97.


Wilson 1000 mag-mount with a short-load whip stuck on the roof, with the wire run out the high-mount brake light.

Trying to decide what to do with the '09 I just bought; since it's got buckets I can probably just stick the radio between the gearshift and console. Antenna is a little trickier, but I need to decide what sort of bed accessories (tonneau, bedliner, headache rack?) I'm going to put on it before I figure out antenna mounting. Keeping the overall height under 6' 8" would be ideal, so I can park in the garage (and out of the snow) at work.

I should just pull the Uniden out of the '97 and put it in the new truck...the '97 is too old for highway trips, anymore. But, since I hacked the headliner to install the radio, I don't really want to do that while I've still got the old girl. (She's my baby...) Maybe the '09 will stay radio-free as long as the '97 stays running.

All these pics make me want to buy the radio I've been eying for a long time. Its a Magnum 257. I'd like to mount it on the headliner between the visors, I just think it'd be a cool location

I dug around, but I couldn't find any pictures of what it looked like with the headliner down. Don't think I took any, now that I'm thinking about it- it was a hot, miserable day and my back was killing me, so stopping to take pictures wasn't too high on my priority list.

Here's the rest of the pics I have of it installed, though:
