Hello, we have a 2006 Ram 2500 Diesel - Automatic, and are looking for a location to install our cb radio. It is a Cobra 29. Anyone else had this problem? Don't want to give up all of the cup holder space on the floor!! [&:]

We have the Big Horn edition with the full console on the floor that takes up all of the space on the floor. You only have enough room to slide your hand down the seat to open up the bottom storage. Thanks anyways!!

I think we may have figured it out, not sure until we try. It looks like it will bolt on the passenger side of the console. We took out the cup holders and removed the bolts and the whole thing comes up enough to tighten up bolts behind it. It looks like a tight fit but we'll see!!

Zeontuner....let us know if that works, I have an 02` 3500 with a 6 speed and have been trying to find a place to mount my cb since I bought it.
Hopefully someone brought the problem to the attention of Dodge and the 07s might have a spot...lol

Check some of the previous posts regarding cb mounts.
Do a searchfor cb mounts. There is a member, Big Bob who has designed a mount for the truck.

I have a 6spd w/console & put a cb on the drivers side of the console near the floor, it's a small Raidoshack cheapie but it does fit nicely & doesn't interfere w/anything. I realise your 29 is larger but I think it might fit.
