That's where I put mine. I pre-drilled with a small-ish bit and then ran self tapping screws in with washers. I had to use a different bracket obviously than what came with the radio. Mine came from a squad car console setup.

 

Could you guys kindly post pics of that location for the cb?

I found where kadetklapp put his awesome sauce HAM. Tight fit dude.

I was considering the Cobra 75 where everything is in the handset. It's got some "balanced" reviews.

 

Ya that's my two-meter rig, but my CB (Cobra 29LCD) is on the floor in front of the console section of the bench.

 

I mounted my cb is the same place as a few other people on here, I find its placement works well since it is out of the way but still withing reach, and being at the bottom edge of the dash allows the wires to be hid quite well.





As for the cable as was asked before. I ran mine through the rubber grommet that's at the back lower corner of the cab. And then ran the cable under the door still and up under the dash to the radio, no tight bends and a short cable length.

Here is a pic of the spot I'm talking about with the hole in the cab corner. Not sure if the standard cabs have it too or just the extended.

 

ok well since i dont want to drill holes in the dash or the cup holder fold down.im thinking on the floor in front of the seats.but I need another bracker my cb radio bracket faces frontwards.hhmmmm not sure how im going to do this yet.

 

My local CB shop had the front of seat brackets in stock when I went down there. I had to have that kind with my bigger cobra CB since the stick shift would hit it if I mounted it under the stereo like many automatic tranny dudes do.

 

How you liking that radio? I just got mine. What kind of antenna are you running on it?

 

Lot of great ideas on here and glad to see radio is still being used!
I am a serious licensed radio operator and use mine everyday.
The drink holder was broken when I bought my truck so I removed it.
Yaesu FT 1802 2 meter mono band 50 watt output.
1978 lafayette HB-640 / 40 channel CB (works great) Also have PA connected under the hood.


Here is a pic of my home equip. (not related to thread)
I can throw down 1KW with my custom home brew amp.
(told you I was serious!)

 

I like it a lot. I'm running a Barjan 4 foot fiberglass antenna mounted to the bed. SWR is low (according to the meter on the radio for whatever accuracy that is worth) and I get ok range in town, and decent range on the highway for what I can tell. Most important for me is the weather band which comes in strong no matter where I have gone so far, so I'm happy with it.
