I do not know if your factory tint is metal base or not. for the tint, you can cut out a square just smaller than the mounting block. I ran the antenna wire up the "A" pillar and under the ceiling / door trim. This plastic pulled back easily and re-installed easily using moderate pressure. For the 35o you may need a trim tool you can pick up at your local dealership. Another option is to mount the antenna on a tool box if you have one. If you choose this, make sure your antenna is grounded well. You can do this by making a ground plate out of metal flashing or something like that. Attach it in your tool box directly under the antenna using the antenna mounting nut. Then, run a wire and attach that to your bed. Hope this helps.

It'll make the trim easier to remove and there'll be less chance of damaging the trim. On the driver's kick panel there's a 'christmas tree' clip that comes out first, then the trim pulls straight back. The trim under the doors pulls straight up. You can slip the coax under the trim between the two doors (the B-pillar?). If the rear pillar trim needs to be removed I think you have to remove the seat belt mount, too. I think this takes a large Torx bit. I mounted my VHF radio antenna just forward of the cab-mounted brake light. If you take the brake light off there's tons of room inside there to work in. My theory is that if I ever sell the truck I can replace the VHF antenna with a cellular antenna to make it more appealing.

I realize this is not the best antenna for a CB but I can't stand drilling a hole anywhere. I want to route the antenna wire under the plastic trim on the drivers side but I don't know how to remove this trim with out damaging it. Any tips would be welcomed! Also the antenna directions say not to mount to any glass with a metal foil in it. I have the extra dark factory tint in my windows, is this tinting plastic or metal film? I have entertained the thought of mounting the CB to the ceiling of the cab but rounting power up there and removing the headliner look like a nasty task. > Dan - Wisconsin > > ========================================================== > To unsubscribe, send email to: listar ford-trucks.com with > the words "unsubscribe 97up-list" in the subject of the > message. ------------------------------ From: "Pete Calabrese" Subject: Re: Computer chip Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 19:15:22 -0400 1. YES!!! 2. I've seen a small increase to date, however I only have 1800 miles on the truck. 3. No. 4. No. 5. Yes. 6. So far, well worth it and when the mpg increases more, it will be better. 7.

I have contacted Super Chip and got their sales pitch on the Super Chip. The PSD owners that have installed Computer Chip in their trucks, please comment on the following. 1. Did the Computer Chip improve the performance as advertised? 2. What happen to your fuel mileage? Did the mileage improve as advertised? 3. Did the exhaust on the truck release more smoke? 4. Did you install a turbo temperature or boost gauge? 5. Did the transmission shift differently? 6. Please give me your opinion of the Computer Chip and if you think it has good value. 7. Which Computer Chip do you think is the best? a. Hypertech Chip? b. Super Chip? c. Others.?

Great body & paint. Only a few thousand made. I love driving with two hands and two feet! Marina Blue / Bright blue interior Since by now most of the wives and husbands have been going, yea, right, where do you get to keep all this stuff. Well, sadly, the '99 F-350 was sold (an offer I could not refuse). We each use the other two Fords trucks (Me the Expy, Linda the Explorer) for daily drivers. The '65 Chevy went when a guy at Illinois Car and Trucks and I were talking (about the '67 Camaro) and I happened to mention that I had a '65 Chevelle-Malibu. He had to have it. I said send me a check and a truck to pick it up. He did. Gone. Kind of miss it, but the rear quarters were solid bondo and the floors were getting very thin. Rear trans seal leaked like a sieve. [Note: I disclosed all this, he still wanted it]. So we are now down to our daily drivers (Expy and Explorer) and my hobby dream car, the SS/RS 396 4-speed Big-block Camaro. With 2 kids (6 and 3), and my own business, my plate is full to the top. I do not know what I would do if I still had all 6 vehicles!! Anyway, Ford Trucks, Chevy Cars; a good combination. Keith PS, sorry for the length of the post, but I though Chevy needed some representation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth J.
