Lets See those CB Radios!

CB Mounting isn't my hard part, I'm going to either get the Midland CB-1 or a Cobra 75 WX ST and will be mounting it in the empty spot the AC vents aren't in above the radio. Just cant figure out a good way to mount an antenna that doesn't detract from the cars appearance or force me to drill any holes.

You're best bet is probably the magnet mount antenna. They also have some window mount ones. Other than that you'd probably have to drill somewhere.

Trying to stay away from magnetic mount (thats my fallback though it I don't find what Im looking for) and Im definitely not going to drill any holes. Have been researching the window mount antennas and the tend to have very limited range (mile or two) as per most reviews and info I've received from CB shops and manufacturers. Last night I had an ideal, just trying to find the parts to make it work.

I don't really want to do a magnet mount either, but from what I've read they work well. You want the coil to be above the roof of the car so it's a good setup.

I want to run a Whip on my back bumper on Kammy. Use the mounting holes for the missing caps to mount it and feed COAX into the car.

But that won't happen until I get lots of other things done..

more solid bumper mount. wont flex on the body, ect. works great. good distance with my cobra classic.

[Prafeston]

Is it mounted to something where the bumper end cap should be? Or actually to the bumper?

I think we need a close up picture!

I have one antenna on my car. It is mounted typically on the passenger side fender & serves three purposes. Factory Installed radio, my separate k-40 CB  & believe it or not I'm still using the old "Chapman" burglar alarm which gives a signal to my Auto Page.

I am a big time radio guy.  I have all sorts of radio setups in all my vehicles.  On my 88 wagon,  I have a base loaded coil antenna with a trunk lip mount fastened to the center of my rear hatch.  uses 2 little allen head screws to tighten it down and the coax is run under all the trim moldings up to the front.  I will get some pics up soon so you can see what I'm talking about.  I am also a Ham operator and do communications for my local Office of Emergency Management.   73!

I don't know how I never saw this thread. I am also VERY interested in mounting a CB in my rig. I'd used them when I was younger. I had always used the magnet mounts with pretty good success, but I really like the whip design on Caspers. Is the package tray the best place? I have an AC car with the gauge package....so I'm pretty limited on mounting locations...is the package tray the consensus?
