CB Mounting Positions?

What have you guys done for interesting CB mounting? My truck is a regular cab, so I want to use as little space as possible. The previous owner had one mounted on the center hump, but I'm not sure I want to do that. With my trailer brake controller and tuner already mounted, I'm not sure where to mount the CB. I was thinking maybe on the roof, but I don't know what is involved. Any pics/tips would be great!

My truck doesn't have an overhead console. I'm planning to pull the headliner to install a set of Cab Marker lights, so I figure that would be a good time to install a CB up there as well while I'm at it.

I like the way your is set up 1975. After seeing it I think I'll still have enough room to have someone sit in the middle seat. My GF is small, so she gets stuck in the middle as it is. I'll have to make some measurements and see if I can fit the CB around my brake controller that I already have installed.


Has anyone mounted theirs to the top of the dash and run the wires up that way? I'm wondering how that would look.

Thanks

Occasionally my Mom sits in the front middle seat. She's short, around 5'2" and has no problems with the CB mounted there.

At some point I hope to get one of these mounts from TennesseeMustangPerf and re-mount my CB onto it.

I just used the hump mount system with the external speaker system. It works great and easily removed.
