Default CB Setup

Hey guys, I recently installed in my F150 a Uniden Bearcat 880, Times Microwave LMR-240-UF coax and a Wilson 4' FGT Silverload Fiberglass Antenna. Here's some pics, I tried to keep it as clean and stock looking as possible.

Dang man, talk about clean. That CB looks like it came with the truck. Could you go a lil bit in detail on how you installed it? I want to put a CB and Scanner in my new truck, just not sure where yet! Haha

Thanks guys, I really tried hard to make it look like it came as part of the dash. I removed the storage tray and cut the entire back out of it. I then fabricated a simple bracket to hold the CB in place. All the wires are run out of sight. I also have a quick disconnect on my antenna. Word of caution, to remove the lower storage bin, the entire center dash section must be removed because in all their wisdom Ford put a screw that mounts from the backside at the very top of the storage bin, there's no way to get to it without removing the entire center section.....guess which screw didn't get put back in....lol
