Finally finished my install on the 2003 Cheby.
The Radio is a Uniden PC68xl. Just your standard AM CB radio. I also have a Texas Star DX399 under the cupholder.
I had to trim the back of the pocket that the radio sits in. There is a bump in the back of the pocket that looks like it is used as a stop and location point for some factory available accessory, dunno. Either way, with about 10 minutes and a dremel, it was no longer an issue. The power and antenna wires wrap under the radio and go back to the area under the cup holder. It is a friction fit, with no wiggles whatsoever. Sound from the speaker has a couple of "ports" on each side of the radio to escape, so no external speaker is needed. I can also slide the radio out a bit and add some walkman head phones if desired (for those long trips with the wife and kids in the truck).
The cool thing (literally) is that I had to trim the A/C duct under the console to get the T/S to fit properly, so now there is a supply of cool air to keep it, and the radio, happy in the Texas heat.
