Im building the same truck as yours and have looked at pictures and have studied your truck to get ideas for mine. Very nice by the way.

Thank you 70cst!

Thank you Rods!
You're right, under the instrument panel was not very convenient, and the mic cord and shift lever would have been wrestling each other all the time . A couple of other considerations were the radio speaker is on the bottom of the transmitter so I didn't need an external speaker this way and I didn't want it on the dash because it was too visible from outside. I guess another reason was habit. I drove commercially for a lot of years and just got used to the radio being overhead and easily visible to me.
