Now, I had to figure out how to mount a stereo, or in this case a CB radio. There is a standard sized opening on the top and a place for a steel strap to mount inside, but that is all you get. Its been years since I installed a stereo and that strap might be enough, but it wasn't good enough for my CB. I used a stencil to calculate where to drill a couple of mounting holes through the side. I drilled through the driver side as that would be far less visable. The full sized CB was as deep as the console. So deep infact that I had to mount it facing the passenger in order to allow room for the cable connections.
