2008 F 450 CB Installation ideas ?

[PIPER-68]

I have an 08 F 450 and im trying to find a place to mount a full size Cobra 29NW CB . Does anybody have any ideas ? The only place I can see is the overhead console but im not sure it will fit and also not sure how to remove it to find out . It almost looks like the top storage bin is made to inlarge by cutting on a premolded line . I have the overhead console with the sunglass holder and the letter / tickit holder with the large overhead bin (no sunroof) . Does anyone know if this will work and how to take the console down ?

Thanks...

a pic of your console area would give us a good idea...

I have an 08 F-350 and I have a Cobra 25 under my steering column. I cut out the plastic cover and bolted the mount to the plastic shroud around the column. I then just used some black upholstery fabric and put around the cb itself. It is low and out of the way and still at easy reach under the column. Or you can always do like others I have seen and just throw it in the center cut out in the dash with some velcro- . Hope this helps and if you want to see a pic just email me at campbellcarriers@bellsouth.net and I will snap one asap.

I have a full size radio, I mounted in sideways on the floor, by my right knee. I do not notice it being there and a person can still sit in the middle seat.

On my 06 F-350, I took out the drink holder and the Cobra 29 Harley Edition slid in, you do have to trim about a 1/4 of plastic that is behind the facia. I'll try to get some pics of it if I ever get home.......
