    There’s a CB Shop White List thread somewhere.

    The radio above is from SoCal. So we know there’s a market being served (the one above is offered for laughs).

    I loved your set up for the freightliner I'm looking to do something similar because I just got a new freightliner.

    Thanks. It was a success after a lot of trial & error. Only limitation in the end was the other man’s rig (so to speak), given that it was a leased company condo.

    I’d change a couple of things:

    1). the new SS antenna mounts by Robert at Clays Radio Shop.

    2). The other change I would make would be to the smaller TAC COMM TRC-1 Radio Carrier.

    - Uniden 980 & baby amp inside; and
    - West Mountain Radio ClearSpeaker attached to an outer side panel.
    - Quality mic of choice on a GEARKEEPER at top of left corner.
    -Industrial Velcro to keep on dashtop.

    The carrier has optional top plate and end cover. Get both, IMO.

    It’s actually an easy truck to run your own Co-phase coaxial and clean DC power with a dashtop radio.

    Yeah I followed your build.. I'm not going to go too crazy at the moment because I'm not sure if they are keeping me in this truck.. I'm gonna run my good old cobra 29 sound tracker, run some good coax and not sure on the antennas yet, but they will go on the mirrors.. just waiting to get the mounts in before I start messing with it..

    Good merchandise and crappy work or semi-decent work and not much merchandise? I guess it all depends on what you're looking for.
