Hey I have had my CB mounted to a piece of metal pipe bent in an arch which strattled the transmission hump just behind the shifter which I was very proud of how I riged it up. I liked how I had it because it was very easy to take in and out which I was doing becuase at the time I did not feel the need for it to be permanent. Now I think its time for it to be a permant fixture in my truck to how/where does eveybody mount it ?

 

The truck I wanna get has got 2 metal brackets made that screw in underneath the hooks of the sun-visors and hold the CB where the OHCs go. I think it's an awesome place for a CB.

 

 

i have it a little different now, but it in the same place.
I traded and got an ash tray so i could but my passanger air bar switch back on and i just took out the ash tray and mounted it there.
and the wire that goes to under the seat is gone as well.

 

Do you know who makes those brackets or where i can get them ?

 

I think he made them himself. Check out the thread about the truck lilford4x4 looked at for me. You can see pictures and probably be able to make them yourself pretty easily, or have someone fabricate them

 

got link ?

 

Heres a little help.

Thanks John.

 

 

mine just rests on the jack stand cover behind the passanger seat

 

That doesn't look hard at all i can build that, now do i want it there. My CB is pretty wide.

 

Well where else would you put it?

 

here is kinda a bad pic but i made a lower center console to hold my PSI gauge horn button and other swithes

 

So I made some little brakets like that(wow first time I ever fab'ed anything like this) they turned out nice and they hold the CB up there but my CB is so wide it makes the visors a pain to flip down and to the side. Its better then it was and the visors still work they just take a little more push.

 

sounds awesome, i would just be aggravated with the cord always dangling down, it would look tacky IMO, i put my cb on my dash on the far left, it works good there

 

I run the antenna wire and power cord under the headliner, down (is that the "A" piller by the door and windsheild)and down under the plastic pieces.

 

I can only wish, I have a stick so its kind of in the way for anything like that.

 

this is what i ordered im supposed to get it tomorrow and install it i could post a pic after i get it in. i am using it for my cb and my scanner though;

since i have reg cab the best place where it is out of the way is velcrowed on top on the dash it self

 

pics Ben?

 

yeah, I have been busy working on other thing on the truck to stop and take pics, I am trying to get the laptop mount set up. i bought a cheap laptop mount on ebay for $20, you get what you pay for, i should have bought the one doc has.
