Default CB in Dash (with pics)

I decided to put my CB in my dash under the steering column.
I started by deciding where i wanted it to in the plastic then cut the hole after taking the bottom plastic out which is like 6 bolts and to plastic caps holding on the relay panel and a velcro holding on a box and you unplug another box on the passenger side.
Then i cut and welded some brackets to the back and screwed in the CB to the brackets.


I had to relocate the relay panel just higher up with wire tie never got a pic of it i think you guys could figure it out. And finished product.


Hope you all enjoy any questions i can help out.

Good deal. I guess you could even set a small external speaker off to the left in that louvre thing.

my only concerns would be the cord being down around your feet and knocking my shins and knees on it wheeling...other wise throw a trim bezal and figure out the cord situation...good job
