CB Installation

[madkaw]

Anyone got any pics of your CB installation? I'd like to get some ideas before I start drilling holes.

Nothing real special on our install just a couple screws into the bottom of the trash bag hook thingy

I built it into my center console

It ain't pretty but I wanted a location that I could reach without taking my eyes off the road.

I made a wooden box out of some scrap lumber, put it on the floor in front of the seat, ran the coax under the kick panel, scuff plate and behind the B-pillar molding, and out the door opening to a magnet mount antenna.

Took me about ten minutes once I had the box nailed together

This is similar to what I did except I replaced the center seat cushion with the box (have the 6sp so the floor wouldn't work). The wires run under the driver's seat through a grommet and directly to the battery. My antennas are mounted on the mirrors and the cable is ran the same way as the wires. Looks good, but I think the antennas are hurting me a little. Works fine though.

Thanks for the pics. Anyone got a overhead install?

Thanks CHPMUSTANG, this one didn't come up when I did a search. Great ref.
