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.

Re: Overhead dash

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.

Re: Overhead dash
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.
