Default need help choosing a dash install kit

I am looking into putting in a new receiver in my car. I remember having one that had a storage pocket underneath the actual receiver last time, but not sure where to purchase. Can anybody direct me to a vendor for that.
I have found this one , but not sure if that is the right din size.

I am needing that pocket below to mount my scanmaster in it as well as other switches.

Please help it has been 4 yrs since I have had a radio in the car.

no thats the wrong one. there is no kit for an f-body that has a pocket. a good kit is either a metra 994000 or 993300

Hey the metra 994000 you listed has the pocket. Your saying that will work?

Humount is nice, but cant drop 60 + 20 for LED backlit.

yeah it will work, but the pocket is not the size of the pocket you were looking at. i meant no pocket that size, sorry, the pocket is like the size of 1 cd case. it actuallu looks good when installed, it fills the radio hole nicely instead of just flat behind it

Same from circuit city. They had to dust the damn thing off it had been there for so long. I will have to mod the space to get my scanmaster to fit however. At this point I might do and might not, but I still like having a place to a spare cd.
