Looking for CB Radio Overhead Console
Ok, I know some of the older guys will remember these...JC Whitney used to carry this universal overhead console to mount a CB radio. Does anyone know where I can find one of these, or some other alternative. I've been looking on EBay for some console that I can hack up and make fit, but all of them are just a little too narrow or shallow.
Any Ideas??

You might have to make your own - I think they went the way of the 'do it yourself sun roof' (which went away because a lot of times they leaked if they were not done just right).
Check to see if the roof of your cab is double walled. If it's only one layer of steel, you cant run screws into it, so making an overhead shelf would call for some kind of ribs to keep it from sagging.
If it's doubled, you can use anchor bolts or PK screws to help support it. IF there is enough space between layers.

Screw hand held, if I'm gonna talk on a CB, it's gonna be a modded one, I'd not trade my juiced Uniden for 2 hand helds.

No, I have a Lund Visor, it just keeps you from viewing it, I made brackets from flat aluminum stock, screwed it to the visor end tab holder's and the shelf, to support it in the middle. My CB is rather heavy, and I wasn't too happy with the bounce as I drove. It does eleminate some of the sun problems, the blinding is no more.
