yes there is a duct that runs along the passenger side of the console would probably be easier to pull the console out mount the bracket for the cb and then put the console back in imo

i have mine mounted there. i have a really small radio so i only used a few half inch screws and went really slow to make sure i didnt punch anything. maybe i got lucky? i never cheked for anything. its really a great spot and i leave my mic in the ash tray thing great access even to change channels while driving. ill get a pic tomorrow for you.

Hmm, I never really thought about that heater duct being there.. I mounted my cb there with 2 small screws (not sure of size but under 1/2") and haven't noticed any problems.

Most likley you went through it lol. What's the worse that could happen if there's two holes in it?

worst case is the back passengers lose a little bit of heat.
