I never will use the lighter & have a USB port to charge phone on the radio, so decided to hang a drink holder.
What other useful things have you added to your trucks interior?

Cobra 29 CB on the hump

Awaiting install:

Big ol Compass ball thingy for on top of dash

Underdash 8 track Player. I may put this under the dash or overhead, haven't decided yet.

Made a center console over the winter for my 72

Since the old dog has no shoulder straps, I stuck two led clearance lights into the holes. Brighter then heck. Got them at NAPA for cheap. Wired them into the dome light wire.

Since my "radio hole" took on new residences...I needed a place for the radio and some 6x9's. It also lent itself to cup holders and a flat spot to lay my sunglasses. I have since hung some rear denim pockets off the rearward face of the console to store a pen, notepad, and cheater glasses. The pants that the pockets came from closely match the color/pattern of the grey sections of the seat.

(Yes, it's a brake lever lock in the corner.)

Good ideas guys!

Motorola AM/FM Stereo/CB in the dash with a pair of KLH 970As under the seat.

LT7A · 08-18-2021, 06:17 PM

Like that Motorola. This the spot nicely.

Nice. I did some Manpower work for Motorola maybe 40 years ago. A 5'' x 5'' Remote Speaker fell into my Stepside, sorta by accident...

I didn't want it appear as 'non-stock' even though it is. I used a spacers of ABS pipe slightly larger than the OD of the stock radio cups to push the radio into the dash so it didn't protrude and so the knobs wouldn't be sticking out too far. For knobs I used the stock radio inner knobs and wiper knobs for volume and tuning. It's actually a pretty good CB radio even with my just OK antenna.

Caddylackn · 08-20-2021, 01:30 PM

That looks great, good find.

indymachinist · 08-21-2021, 10:34 AM

That Motorola radio with the built in CB is super cool!
