Exclamation CB Mount... Where?

I have an 05 supercab with the front bench seat... Where would be some good cb mounting locations that wont look tacky or drill a bunch of holes in my dash... I am in the market for a new CB so anything is possible... Is there a mount made for the dash tray? if so where can i get one? Also... Coax and antennas... where? basically starting over cuz the old ones went with my old truck when i sold it

There's another thread going on this topic. Maybe it will give you some more ideas.

I hate to steal your thread, but I have a 07 SCAB with a sunroof and center console shifter. Any ideas where to mount a CB at?

No I didn't have to drill the hole for the coax, it's already there. It just has a rubber plug in it which I cut a hole in and used as a grommet. The coax is just regular RG8X.

I just came back from Home Depot.
I got 2-1" threaded floor flanges and an 18" piece of 1" steel pipe pre-threaded on both ends.
I'm going to make a pedestal out of it and mount my radio on top.

Once I figure it out I'll take some pics.

that's weird... I have an 05 Supercab too.
And do you mean the plastics for the dash and door sill? The door sill plate just pops right up. The glove box is held in with two small screws at the bottom of it. To remove the tray on top of the dash you just pop off the radio and A/C bezel and undo the screws for the tray and it will pop out.
