I had one on my '79 T/A and used a magnetic mount antenna that I kept in the trunk when not in use. The actual CB was small and fit into the center console (second gens have both center console AND a REAL glovebox )
They make some really small CB's now, all the controls are on the Mic, so you can hide the actual raido just about anywhere. Doesn't tempt thieves that way either.

I have a small Uniden mounted in the console, where the ashtray would go. It took some cutting on the plate to get it to go, but my console was already cracked, so I don't feel bad about it. Put a small clip for the mic on the bottom of the dash.

I'm using the thru-the-glass antenna kit from Radio Shack. It looks like an old school cell phone antenna. I mounted it a the top of the rear hatch, so there's only a couple inches of wire showing.

I have a pic of my console somewhere on the boards, but I can't find it untill the search is back up.

i just took out my stereo and drilled a couple of holes for the bracket on the side. for my antenna i used an adapter to hook into my radio antenna. worked pretty well for what i need and didn't have any sratches in my paint. and best part is when you take it out you can't see the holes because of the carpet.

My brother mounted his under the Dash. Looks great there.
