Default Back when, CB Radio

hey guys today i installed a CB kinda temp like in my camaro because i hate/cant use my cellphone while driving and i got buddies who got CB radios too for when were driving round town. heres some pictures of it. but did anyone here back in the 70s/ 80s rock the CB radio in a camaro? my dad had the same setup i do with an older CB in his 70RS so me and him are doing the same thing

ps its just temp for a while. my interior is really beat to crap (as u can see+ and my paint dont matter so it will come out someday but for now i really think its pretty cool. its a 4~5' magnetic whip tail antenna my dad used with his camaro in the 80s too so i got some old tech im using also.

Now you just need some black paint and a big old screaming chicken for the hood, hey Smokey?
Nope, never had a CB in any car or truck I owned. I do use the little hand held CB's for hunting though.

Yep, back in the 70's I had a Midland 40 channel that was hopped up for more output (clipping one resistor made the radio mighty powerful). Also had a Turner Road King modulated mike. I had the radio in my honey of a 69 Camaro Convertible, with the trunk mounted swing down antenna mount. I still have the CB unit, but not the car (I know, I got rid of the wrong one).
