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.

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

nice whips how tall are they

i might have to steal your idea with the ammo can center consle once i just got bucket seats for my truck lol

BackGateYota92

those are 102" whips. do you have both of them hooked up cause pretty sure those will interfere with each other? lol

Z's Confederate Toy

102" is correct. Only one is hooked up, I may hook the other to the radio antenna if it works. My stock one gets sucky reception.

102 nice i thought my 5 foot fire sticks looked big damn

toyospearo

Nice work!
The cab set up looks killer!!

BackGateYota92

ya man, i run a superstar 121 cb with the 102" whip, they put out a ways. that would be cool if ya could get the radio to work through the other whip. haha

Z's Confederate Toy

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.

you must how a nice cb and antenna to go from Colorado to cali.


just a random question what kind of gas mileage does that pickup get

Z's Confederate Toy

Yeah, I was at almost 14,000 Feet. It was pretty cool talking to someone in Cali from here. The truck gets between 23 and 25.

1981 yota

damn you want to trade gas milage

Z's Confederate Toy

Whats that 81 getting?

1981 yota

im not totaly sure because my odometer dont work but my gage goes down pretty quick

Z's Confederate Toy

Mine seems to go down pretty fast too, but when I calculate it out its pretty good. Which engine you got?

1981 yota

its a 22r with a weber carb bad compression in one valve and 3 1/2 spark plugs lol

Z's Confederate Toy

That might be part of the problem, the bad compression and the half of a spark plug. What is the compression?

1981 yota

i dont remember it i should check again but i cant take it apart because its my dd and my dad wont let me touch his truck

Z's Confederate Toy

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.

1981 yota

ya its a pain my dads f350s brakes are losin air or something i cant remember then our bronco is leaking fuel out of the carb gaskets so it aint movin
