Hi Hottrucks

My headliner did come with a cover for that area of the headliner (see below picture). You could cut a hole and make it a small compartment to put things but I think it was with the thought to put the radio in the headliner and it would be covered by the cover and give a place to drill the holes for the radio mounting (see installation picture below).





I know that a CB seams out of date today by many but I wanted one and this was where it worked for me. There was two problems with using the cover with the CB. (1) The CB is longer than a radio and mounts differently. (2) The speaker for this CB is in the bottom of the CB case and the cover would cover it.

I did modify the headliner a small amount to be able to use the CB in that area. I did place a 3 inch x 8 inch peace of sheet metal on top of the plastic headliner to spread the load of the CB mount, CB’s are generally heaver than a radios and with two screws going up into the plastic I didn’t want the CB falling down. On both sides of the area I drilled some holes to be able to install the screws from the CB mount to the CB case and then covered the holes with some plastic caps. I also put a hook between the speakers to hold the mike cable out of the way. Ref back to the install post #500 on this build thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...318544&page=20

Another one of those modification I didn’t talk about or show, sorry about that I just didn’t think (smile). For me I liked the way it turned out everything is up and out of the way.
