if you've got a small CB like a cobra 19 they fit great in place of the airbag switch / cubby below the HVAC controls. take the cubby out, unscrew the airbag switch and the bracket should bolt right on without any drilling.

I mounted mine right above the rear view mirror. Ran the wire in the headliner to wherever it needed to go. Everything is out of the way and the cb is very accessible.
