could you do some type of bracket/support thing that goes from one side to the other or front to back under the roof liner? lots of work but it would look sweet, as long as youre short lol

This is true.
I could just see me driving around with two stainless steel bolts sticking out of my roof! haha!

You could always double the bolts up and rig some lights on them though.

why does a shower curtain rod across the width of the cab come to mind. I got to stop being a redneck sometimes haha.

check out my cb thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f123...pickup-216470/

just a few blurry pics here, i like it because next to the cb is a little spot perfect for a knife, i dont usually carry one on me, but i keep one in my truck, because you never know when your gonna need it!!

This is where I put my CB.

This is how I set mine up.

It might only be temperary. I didn't really have anymore room in my dash to put it so I stuffed it right here. I just used some srcap metal and a drill press.




Passenger side mount.


Drivers side mount.

i dont use my ash tray so i have my cb out farther than it has to be, so my ash try opens up a little bit and i use it to put spare change in it. im sure if you lowered the cb just a little or put it farther back your ash tray would work fine.

Mine used to be on the door panel:

Worked great there, but needed to remove it to make room for in-cab cage so now have one of the Cobra 75s behind the driver's side kick panel.
