Cb radio, might install the 2nd antenna.... Someone once asked my Dad why he had two antennas, he said cause he liked dual nipples.... I don't know how to tune it.

This was posted by @mrk5 in his build thread and I saved it for reference. An SWR meter is pretty cheap to buy too. This link explains it pretty well

Just caught up on your progress - what a roller coaster!
The paint looks outstanding, and it's unfortunate its cherry was popped so soon. Still a damn cool truck.
See you next week.

- Mount front bumper
- Mount front tow hooks
- Finish mounting cb radio
- Tcase shifter
- Rear reciever hitch mounting
- Found out my trans mount pulled the threads out of the aluminum on the adapter. So I will sandwich a washer and nut.
- Mount cab better.
- Strap the seat cover down better.
Get the cb to work?
Going put in a few mins to try
Thrash dude good luck!!
Got the front bumper and tow hooks mounted, cb kind of works I can receive but not transmit . Went to cut the floor and the tcase shifter won't work so I'll be crawling under for the shifts. I did get the seat cover mounted so that will be nice. I did finally get the last steering arm bolt in and torqued down.
Good progress!
What's up with the shifter?

The transmission literally is against the floor.
Someone should be able to stop by ORD and bring a 1" body lift with them....
There will be enough guys there to just pick up the cab and hold it while you squeeze the pucks in!

2wd tunnels don't work with 4wd... you know..2wd
Sawzall fix that..
I have a 2wd cab with 1" pucks, no cutting.
How did you mount the shifter?
Cut a hole in the floor and mounted it. That was with the 203 and the 205 cases
Oh, i think ill do a cable shifter of some sorts.
