2013 CB Mount

Looking for some ideas on where to put a CB in a 2013 with a flip down console (Full bench) I don't wan to chop into my dash or have a knee buster.

Even open to which radios you've used. I know they CB is a niche market right now, however I live full time in my RV and tow it everywhere. I miss having a CB in the cab even if just to hear chatter.


Thanks
G

I recall seeing a video where a guy removed the factory double-DIN radio, and replaced it with a single DIN on top and a CB on bottom. There was a kit he used and modified. It was to install the single din and have a storage pocket below it in a double din slot. Very clean installation, and easy to put the truck back to stock with no modifications. if I can find the video, or the kit, I'll post it.

I put a Midland 78-822 CB in the center console, it's one of those all -in-one types that's even removable and can be converted to a handheld with a battery pack of AA batteries (link below to the radio I'm talking about). Put it in the center console so it's basically out of sight/ out of mind when not using it, but (at least in a 2010 F250) there is a factory cigarette lighter style 12 volt power point down there to plug it into.

And here's a link to the antenna I used. Magnet mounted it to the roof and ran the wires through the high mount center brake light hole into the cab. Its small and not glaring.

It's certainly no billy big rigger CB setup, but it works and has a surprising long range when used at the hunting lease.
