CB (citizens' band) radio mount on the overhead rails?

Does anyone sell an accessory mount kit for the overhead rail system to mount a CB (citizens' band) radio up there? Or can it easily be done by crafting something up myself??

If you're handy, it shouldn't be too much work to figure out something to mount it up there with. That seems like a pretty straight forward task to me.

Wouldn't work for me as I have the flow-through console with floor shifter in my FX4.

I've gotten some ideas from a mechanical engineer friend of mine. Everything from bungee cords to cast aluminum was discussed. I'll come up with something.

We went with the XLT to get the non flow through center console so we could mount the UHF radio we carry in all our trucks. It seemed the only way to go. I would really like to see some sort of mount for this though. I was seriously considering drilling and tapping the rails and just bolting the radio up there.

Deja Vu! :-)

I remembered that thread and didn't realize that you started that one too. Oh well. Let us know what you end up doing.
