I have a 2000 regular cab and I actually mounted it right to the front of my center console right in front of the cup holders and it has worked great

I have a 98 extcab with 5speed and i mounted mine below where the cup holders and coin drawer come out and the mic on the dash by the storage slot on the left of shifter, it works well and doesnt interfere with anything, i can send pis later if you want

I've got an 03 and I mounted my Cobra on the front of the console and put the mike holder on the right side of the CB and it is just right. I also installed an aux. powerpoint on the front and bottom of the console and I wired the CB with a plug in so I could remove the radio and use it in other vehicles if necessary.

It could depending on how many times the phrase is found, and what combo of keywords you use. I would start out with CB and go from there.

You do know just like searching the forum, you can search for gallery, right ?
