how much do you want to spend, echo? do you think she would like a blue display or a red display. is the truck hers everyday or does she slipseat.

first i would suggest you look here, they have some of the best pictures on the net. we will find cheaper once you find somthing you like

magnum radios seem very popular right now, there build quality leaves a little to be desired but they look nice, have echo, and produce a fair bit of power. figure about 40 watts.

galaxy has always been a trucker favorite, they have a few new dx radios that look nice, come with all the bells and whistles, and a few make BIG power. a 150 watts can be seen (they have a amp built in)

connex radios have the classic silver look to them, they suposedly have one of the best echo in the buisness, and are easy to operate. they also added internal amps to a few of there radios.

superstar has a few low cost options that perform well, they are made by rci (as nearly all radios are), and look great. you wont find the new radios there but other compays have them shown. rci has them on there webspace.
