Anyone know where a good cab shop is in north Texas or southern Oklahoma? I have a cobra 19 classic that belonged to my late Dad that needs a peek n tune. I’d really like to put it my truck as the build date is exactly my late Mom’s birthday.

I see all these pictures of people with complex setups so I think mine is pretty boring.

I have a Cobra 75 WX ST I have it sitting under the passenger seat unsecured with the mic hanging from the passenger side cubby in the center stack. I am essentially running power directly from the battery.

The antenna is mounted on a 2" x 7" piece of sheet metal that I cut with a jig saw and bend by hand with a too small bench vise. The antenna is a 3' Firestik II it worked decently a couple weekends ago off roading. I am using the Firestik K4-8R18 mount and coax run through a hole I drilled in the clutch delete plate.

All the cabling surrounding the installation is run through the clutch delete plate. I can take some pictures and post them here when I get home.

I’d appreciate the pictures especially around the clutch plate.
Another problem I’m gonna have is my carport is really low. I’ve only got like 2” of clearance above the cab lights.
It may be an even tighter fit or a NO go after the leveling kit is put in.

I mounted mine to the floor console on the passenger side. I can't open the glove box all the way but I don't use it much anyway. I mounted the antennas to the tow mirrors. I ran dual coax through each door and out to the mirrors. I used flat stainless steel mounts and bolted them to the mirror frame. This required me to remove the outside cover and expose the thick aluminum frame. Then I cut a small slot in each cover and replaced them. Filled the gaps with some black silicone. I'm running 4' Firesticks and I just have to watch the passenger side while driving on back roads not to hit any branches.

Here is a thread on the Clutch delete plate. I took some pictures of how I have things setup. I park in a driveway so I cannot help with the clearance issues.
