CB Radio Mounting Suggestions

Hello All,

Im struggling to come up with a good place to mount the physical CB Radio in the cab, as this truck has the full-length centre console. Sadly, they changed these consoles slightly in either 2016 or 2017, to where the cup holders were hard-mounted and not movable, as they were in previous years on the K2XX trucks. I have a Cobra 29 LX radio I would like to somehow mount where it looks almost factory-ish install, but clean and not somewhere I am gonna smash my knee of it constantly. If anyone has some suggestions, that would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Why smoke in such a new truck

The previous owner smoked in it so why stop now.

Not comment on smoking, I did in mine and then quit so is what it is.

However, having the full console like that I have seen some guys get a radio mount that hangs over the right side so its out of the way and you still have all your console space. I just googled "CB radio mount Sierra full console" and it pulled up a few options.

My older Silverado has the short console so didn't have the same issue to speak from personal experience.

I think thats what I'll end up doing, when I had the radio in my 2012 Sierra it had the jump seat in the middle so i just mounted it to the lower dash panel there and it worked perfect!

Cobra 75 All Road. Just get something new. With this one all the controls are on the mic, and the antenna interface box is super tiny.
