Okay, I saw a thread on this in the 3rd Gens but nothing on 2nd Gens.

Turns out another member had the same idea with his 3rd gen as I did with my truck

You know that storage bin thing in front of the shifter on the 5 speed?? Like below the stere and stuff?? I was wondering if I could remove that and install my CB somehow??

has anyone done thise or know how to easily remove that piece?? is it a seperate part? It is not shown in my Haines manual.

Thanks.

 

Pull the dash bezel off and you will see how it's attached. Very easy to remove. I put my guages in there but a CB would work too.

Thanks Jim!! Apprciate it I'll check that out right away. I think it should work fairly well.

 

That's where mine is . It a small/thin style GE.

 

I would do a search on that.. I remember someone posting about the install (other than Mr. Junkie..) and had some photos..

J-eh

 

I'll check it out, thanks.

 

post what you find out. I have been thinking about putting one there as well

 

I pulled it out today. It's easy.

Just remove the dash trim bezel (it just pulls off) and there are two screws at the top of the bin hidden behind the bezel, take those out and it pops out easy.

I will basically have to mount the radio paralell to the dash kind of thing but I'm sure it can be done. I need to fab a bracket. Hoping I can Jerry rig something for the time being.
