OK.. here's a shot of my radios. (They are kinda fuzzy...and my truck is kinda dirty... lol) Sorry it took a while... holiday season!

I have a Uniden Beartracker 7 Scanner under the steering wheel on the driver's side attached with one already there under dash screw, and then screwed in with another screw (I think it was a self tapper? lol) to make it two. The scanner is about the size of a small radio like a cobra or radiosmack), so this might be a good comparison:



I also have a Uniden PC78 Mounted in the same fashion on the passenger side under the dash. This one just used two of the original dash screws that were already there. Easy install.



Here's a shot of all three. The Icom 2720 (Amateur) has a removeable face that we attached to the front of the ashtray.




Hope maybe this helps....?

Nice set up!  

I only use my CB when I'm wheeling, it sits on top of the dashboard on Velcro pads. The power lead has a cigarette lighter plug on it (fused). That way I can remove it when its not in use.

Because of room I got a Cobra with all the stuff set into the hand set.  It attaches to a little box I mounted in the dash.

I was worryed about how well it would work but was supprised at how well it does work.

It actually works better that some of my friends larger more expensive models.  I do have a high grade attenna and is tuned proporly.

I got the antenna installed today and I'll decide tomorrow where the CB will go and post some pics. Heather, as usual, I'm impressed.

I used the Velcro on the dash, and found the radio
comes loose from the rough ride, so I have been
thinking about mounting it in the dash, left of the
steering collum, where I have a bunch of blank
switch knockouts, small Cobra might just fit there.

Here's how I did it:

Made a bracket to hold the Antenna.


Mounted the CB using one existing screw and only drilled 1 other hole.


Mounted the Mic Clip using an existing screw.


It works great. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Nate. What Brand of CB Antenna are you using?

This may sound bad, but I havent really paid that much attention. I have thought of getting the Clamini rear tire holder/bumper. Have you or anyone had a problem before? I guess I should check, but I dont think it has beat it up too much if it has. Thanks for brining it up though, I will have to check it out.

Radioschmack 102' on the back or I'll sometimes switch it to the Wilson fiberglass on the front fender which is hooked up to the scanner normally... if I get tired of the 102.

Jacob,
I have been running with a 33x12.50 hanging on my stock mount for years without trouble. Just remove the tire occasionally and make sure it is not denting or cracking around the mount.
