I took my C.B. out of my Explorer when I sold it and would like to pu it in this truck, but I,m stumped as to where to mount it. Any ideas or pic.s of your mount?
Thanks, Todd

 

Oh yea how about antennea(sp) wire routing also . I have a through the glass one that isnt very good and a mag mount but dont know where to run wire through to outside.

 

They tend to scratch the paint, as for routing there are rubber plugs in the floor pan, find the one that meets your needs and pop it out run the wire though the hole and plug then reinsert.

The through the glass lose to much transmission and if you run any power on the radio it will burn it up.

As for antennae mounts I used a plate under the rear bumper, here's a pic, it looks straight now that I've cleaned it up but don't have a recent pic.



AS for the radio mine is currently between the drivers and passenger sides of the seat in the crack, don't like it there it's handy but don't like the look.

JC Whitney has a split shelf that I've been eyeing, won't block the over head console and temp/compass. If I get it I'll post pics, if you get it 1st let us know how well it works.

 

FAMILYMAN where do you find those plugs in the floor pan. What the best way to find them.I just dont want to go tearing around.THANKS

your truck, there is one by the door pillar next to the drivers seat, make a small straight line cut in the padding and carpet so if you change location you'll never see it, or pull carpet loose to the edge.

 

THANKS FAMILYMAN SURE BEATS GUESSING BECAUSE I WOULD OF THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEWHERE IN THE REAR SEAT AREA.THANKS

 

Thanks for the replies, Ill look into the overhead shelf, is it on the web site? . The bumper mount looks good, eaisier to get into the garage too.

FAMILYMAN are you a FED.EX.FREIGHT driver???? saw your pics on another link and if Iam not mistaken there were some fed. ex. city tractors in the background.SBN CITY DRIVER HERE.

 

If I were to do it....

I would get two antennas and put then where the bed rails go near the cab of the truck. As for the actual radio I would either try to mount it in the dash flush somewhere or inthe center console wher eteh black cup holders are I would mount it flush there.

 

Yes, STL city, line haul someday.......... Here's a link to one of our drivers site if you haven't seen it yet, check it out
