Where to mount CB
I have a 1994 ford ranger standard cab and I cant seem to find a good place to mount my CB radio. I tried puting it under the dash but it gets in the way of the shifter. So what have you guys done? I really dont want to put it on top of the dash.
Thanks

depends on which CB. I have an LTD25 by cobra its in the middle of the trans hump (94 SC) I just had to move it more into the lowere heater duct. Only problem I have occasionally is when I open the ahtray to put the phone charger in and then when I close I have to push the front of the CB down to clear the tray. The dash is all plastic make sure you drill into the lower steel support to hold the radio up.

Heres a pic from the gallery of billybob69 with his CB monted in his SD.
This is how I'm going to mount my CB when I get around to it. The SD and Ranger use the same size radios. I think it is a great setup, but you need another radio and a Double Din install kit to make it work.

here is my 04, mounted it the same in my 05, wont work if you have a stick though. have seen people mount it on the headliner between the visors.
EDIT: Have also seen people mount it above where mine was, so that could work if you had a stick

In my '94 I put it below the driver's seat, mounted the handheld part to the center console. Worked fine, just reach down and turn it on.
