i was looking for a thread i thought i had seen of cb's mounted in trucks, if anyone has any input or pics of their cb's mounted in a 3rd gen i would appreciate it.

 

Hey megaboom
Here is my 2 meter Ham radio install: I removed the rubber insert in the
console & traced an outline of the opening & transfered it to a 1/4 " piece of wood. it needs two 2" long dowel legs to support the front of the wood
while the rear is supported by the console separator. Then simply adjust your mobile mount (usually supplied with the radio) & run your power
leads (fused, please!) & antenna. Good Luck!

I did a temporary mount in my 2006 Mega Cab 3500 SLT. Sorry I do not have picts since I am at work right now. I have a small Cobra CB that I attached the CB mount bracket to a round metal bar under the drivers side seat right in the front with a few zip ties. I positioned the zip ties so it would not slide left or right. The CB angles down and I ran the antenna wire under the rear set floor mats and then behind the seat, out the rear slider. The CB mic I just place slightly in-between the drivers seat and the center seat. For the power, I connected the power wires to a cigarette lighter power plug and ran the wires under the seats and center counsel. No holes from drilling, no holes in rubber plug going to the engine for the fuses and I can remove it any time I want. Taking the 5er to Pismo Beach this weekend, but will add picts later if you would like to see what it looks like.

 

I could not find a good place to mount a regular CB so I put one of these in.

 

thanks for all the info guys, i have a different center console in my mega though ill see if i can get some pics

dude thanks for posting that thread there is a pic of exactly the way i want to mount mine!

 

Don't wanna hijack... How bout 6-speed mounts?

 

do you have any details on how that was mounted? thats exactly the way i want to mount mine, also does anyone have any pics of the way they mounted their antennas? i have dual antennas but the brackets they came with will not work.

 

 

I have it mounted to the plastic filler that is between the floor console and the AM/FM radio. I discovered the spot when I put in my 6 CD changer radio with the "info" feature so I can see the Sirius information.Just held the CB with the coax attached to make sure I had enough room, marked th bracket location, pulled off the bracket and marketed the holes. Then I dis-assembled the console to get the panel off, drilled 2 holes mounted the bracket with a couple of panhead screws, nut s and washers on the back. The coax fits through the gap between the floor console and dash. Went under the carpet and out the grommet near the steering column. I use a stake pocket mount and a 4' Firestick.

I think this is a direct link to post #8.

cool....i have my antenna's mounted and have everything ready to go but i need a mounting bracket for my cb my buddy didnt have one to give me when i got the radio.

 

I'll get some pics up soon mounted up mine on the roof facing driver with help from a inch & 1/4 flat strap!

 

Here they are.

 

Thats nifty. I think I could only do that with one of the mini cbs. You better hope it never comes off going down the road. (not saying it will)
