installing CB + antenna and gun rack in a 67 K20?

[mrein3]

I pulled my gun rack when I brought the truck to MN - the state where nothing is allowed. FWIW, The PO drilled holes to mount the gun rack. In MN all guns must be cased and unloaded so the rack was kinda silly here.

The question I have is why do you want a gun rack? Doesn't that invite somebody to come and steal your weapons? Out of sight is out of mind.

A gun rack in the window is really for more then just guns. From fishing poles to hanging your hat on. I have also been known to hang my tool belt from it so that it does not slide around in the floor board. but must move it when someone rides with me. If you drill the holes and remove the rack latter you can always plug them with a plastic piece.

Back in the early 90s my uncle had some kind of converter box that allowed him to plug his radio antenna into his CB. He didn't have the reach of a big CB antenna but it kept the exterior of his truck clean. Also not really subject related but I had an 84 Cadillac Fleetwood with a CB radio built into the car stereo. Flip the switch on the radio to CB Grab the GM labeled mic under the dash to the right of the steering column and you listen through the car's stereo speakers. Really cool option and I haven't seen too many since then.

I installed my CB cause down in Florida, when a hurricane blows through, very often that's the only way to comminicate for help, water, or assistance for others. Cell towers blow down, but no hurricane yet has blown down radio signals.
