Mounted my CB...

Long story short, my dad was moved into a alzheimers home a few months ago, and when cleaning out his house I found this older Cobra 25 CB. I have no real use for a CB these days, used them alot when I was doing HWY work, but cell's have all but replaced them. But it was his, and about the only thing I got out of the house so...

I need to drill a new hole in the mounting bracket to have the CB sit more parallel to the truck, but it fits good there.



Going to get a mount that puts it out on the front drivers side fender, had one on my 97 and it seemed to work good...

Tell you what, I am running out of space to put crap!LOL

It's tough, his "wife" made it worse by telling us kids to "come get him, I am done dealing with it"

So we had to lie to him and say she is coming later. He did not understand, but doesnt ask for her anymore.

About broke my heart.

But on to other stuff...LOL

Nice your defiantly getting a little short on space! I bought my Replacement radio at Autozone for 89 bucks after the stock one died.
