I mounted my CB to the astray. I cut a 2"x 2" piece of wood, the length of the tray and used body plastic to glue it level in the ashtray opening. On this wood I mounted the bracket to support the CB. Drilled thru the entire mess for wires to come thru. The rear of the CB rests on the dash itself, and it ended up sitting completely level. I painted the entire thing black. Looks and works well. Next, I want to install a permanent antenna. Anyone every put down the head liner to install an antenna wire? ERic
