I forgot about cheaper than dirt. $11 bucks are about what they go for these days. I can remember when when they were $5 a piece. (I grew up at doing the gun shows and still do them)
Update on the '87. The whips mounted, CB installed and wired up to the battery. Pics to follow some time today.

Newest Pics
Here are the pics of the antennas, CB, Cb wiring, and the speaker box 'tween the seats.
Side view of truck. See the antennas?
The new CB mic. location
Antennas again
Mounted and Wired
I'm thinkin about sanding the mounts and springs down and painting them black
The fuseable link for the CB straight to the battery
Moved the CB away from the driver door. It was in the way of the window crank.
Box installed

They are huge, everybody is dumbfounded by how long they are.
Thanks, the seats are not bolted down quite yet. I still have to fab up some brackets. Plus I have to swap the driver seat out cuz my dad hates the one I have in it. He likes to drive with the worn out POS Bronco seat.
I once talked to Cali from here with mine. I was wayyy up there in the Divide though.

I know how that is. Mine is my DD and fits the only truck we have running right now. My dad's 85 is going through an engine rebuild and his F350 needs a power steering line, a brake proportioning valve and it has a pinhole coolant leak. So needless to say, I can't have mine torn apart for a while either.
