There's a company called BECK that makes such an item. I tried to find the 
address of the company, but no such luck. You might check with some of the 
SWL dealers to see if they have it.
But may I offer a little bit of friendly advice? I think you'll com out 
better (and I KNOW you'll come out cheaper) if you just buy a small portable 
like the Sony ICF-2010 or Sangean ATS-803A, and hook up a 108" CB whip to it. 
I've used this comfiguration in my car on a temporary basis and I was amazed 
at the results! (I say temporary, because as of yet I haven't figured out how 
to permenantly mount the radio in my car. Nut if you bought something like 
the Lowe HF-150, this wouldn't be a problem, either, and I think it's sheaper 
than the Beck radio.)
