That's a nice spot for it too...


I wish the plugs sat more firmly in their grommet... I always feel like it's going to fall through when I'm plugging the handset in...

I have that box thing mounted underneath...I have it mounted to the front part of the compartment thing. I also left the fuse in the hotwire sticking out incase I ever needed to replace it.

When I park, I simply just toss the actually CB underneath my seat...you can not tell it is there. I like it here cause it is not in the way of driver/passanger feet or legs. If it is hanging up in sight..asking to get stole.

If you take that center console off....Both shifter knobs are heck of a lot harder to get back on that take off. The parking brake almost has to be straight up...and be careful..I think some electrical stuff to your airbags are underneath that center console (if I remember correctly)

Did you have to attach a ground wire with your antenna mount?
I picked up my mount from Rick as well...Nice guy.

Nice installs. I've had a 75 sitting in my office for 2 years. I keep intending to install it but then something else comes along. Now it's a weekend almost and this pics have got me motivated (again). Anybody know of a place in SoCal to pick up parts, antenna cables etc?
