I have a uniden CB radio (new) and have an existing larsen wb vhf radio already on my truck. Will this antenna work with my new radio.

Short answer, no. They are tuned for entirely different frequencies.
The receiver might work but you are really stressing the transmitter.
Children's band antennas should be cheap, especially if you can find a
used one. My guess, most got thrown out with the leisure suits and
bell bottoms.
