I'm putting one up in my Suburban right now plus modifying it to hold my Double Din touch screen Kenwood Stereo Model DDX812
The mount is a brand new unit I got from work (GM Dealership)

If it's double walled you should be able to mark and drill the 6 holes into the inner skin of the roof. Otherwise you're gonna have to do some mods.

Just watch your screws don't go too far and come out the outer roof skin.
