Guys,

I'm rebuilding a very nice 89 F150 very little rust low miles. I'm doing interior now, My question is where to put 3 gauges? Where is a good location for the CB Radio. I would like to see pictures of what you have done with your trucks. By the way it is a reg cab. I will post pictures soon
on the build of this truck. thanks in advance.

Is it auto or man? large or small chassis cb? mechanical or electric gauges? I have 2 - 2 1\8 mech gauges water temp\oil pressure just to the right of the steering column on the bottom of the dash, I use cups not the bracket, looks neater and my cb is under my ash tray on the trans hump, i dont smoke so I dont care if my ash tray does not work.

 

I prefer teh pillar pods for gauges...that way you can check them via your peripheral vision and you dont take your eyes off the road...

 

I like using mechanical gauges so pillar mount wont work for me. I usually look when I am at a stop or parked just to see whats going on.

 

WAIT....hold the phone....what are you saying here...?

I have a 3 gauge pillar and they are ALL mechanical gauges...

I dont use/like/wont buy electric gauges...

the pillars are made for both...mine has Water Temp, Oil pressure and Volts and they are all mechanical...

 

whoa, you have a mechanical volt guage?

okay, i'm just being a jerk. carry on...

 

yep...if you think about it ALL gauges are mechanical...they all have moving parts inside the gauge itself..

 

I put my CB on the roof in between the visors. I like it there. its a full size radio.

I have also seen them down on the floor under the ash tray if its an auto.

 

Anybody else want this one! I just can't! But I will say, Imagine if "gfordboy87" wrote Installation Instructions for a living! Go ahead, try to imagine! Ok, I'll do it....... Does your arm get wet when you change channels while it's raining?

 

that had me laughing pretty good....

only you man would think of a come back like that...
