Is there a specific CB radio that was used in the Generals? Is it a Cobra 78x and what are they worth?
 
Sharp 40 channel. Although from what I read there are a couple scenes with a cobra 77 source for information here.

A general lee is basically a cobra 29 with uppers and lower channels installed which allows to operate on the 10 meter bands. It has echo and reverb also, usually pushes about 40watts on dead key and will swing around 100 watts. They are a good radio new ones sell for about $400.
 
The General Lee modulates about 40 Watts and can be had for under $300. It was modeled after and is quite similar to the Connex 3300 HP.
The General HP40W modulates 100 W and can be had for under $400.
Two different radios.
