Re: Overhead dash

i think he is referring to the shelf/console/storage compartment that mounts right above your line of sight. many people have a CB mounted in them.

yup. not sure what to do with it yet. it could use some refinishing. right now it's just collecting dust in the garage.

JC Whitney used to sell one. you had to remount your visors to it. here are a few, but i've never seen one used in person.

Re: Overhead dash

I had an 85 jimmy that had one of those with visors mounted to it. It came stock, so you might be able to find one and modify it to fit.

my old man had one in his '76. worst-sounding thing i can think of. it was kinda weird. 10-watt 4" highs blaring right in your ears... it just isolated you from everything that was going on.
might have been better with quality speakers, but not much.

I have a Highliner in my truck. Got it from JC Whitney in 95. As mentioned above they have really crappy speakers. However, mine still work.
