C.B. Radios...
Hey allI was thinking of throwing a CB in my 2000 Superduty and was just wondering what would work out best...possibly that will fit into that cubbyhole under the radio ? What radio/antenna combos are you guys with CB's running ? How about a couple pics of locations ?
Thanks !

I'll have to take pic of mine. I have mine mounted on the floor on the hump. I rather mine to be on the roof but this truck has a moon roof so I had to relocate have a galaxy 44 and really like it. Other than my coil ant. I like fire stix. They are easier to tune. What ever you run you don't want anything you have to cut to tune
. 18 feet of coax is easier to tune also. I don't know why that I. Run it out don't ball the excess up.

We have a local shop here that sells a drive shaft hump mount. It has a built in external speaker and mounts really easily and hides your wires. I'm running a Cobra 148F GTX that has been modulated, clipped and pilled. Dead key 1/4 and swing 50 with talk back and Cobra power/echo mic. Mine tuned with 21 feet of coax and I run dual terminator coil over antennae mounted to extensions under my shell. Yeah, it's a Redneck thing.....

Yep. It is a double din kit I got off of ebay for about $15. The CB has the speaker and mic connector on the front so that all worked out. It is just a tiny bit wider then a stock stereo so I have to shave the kit a little to get it to work.
Then had to shave the top and bottom flanges inside the dash opening. But once done, worked out pretty good.
