Ham/CB Mobile Consoles

[L.B. LaForce]

Hello, I am looking for a console for my 2005 Chevy Impala, and have been looking around for a console to hold a CB, and a Ham radio. I found some made by Troy Products, but the prices is utterly ridiculous!! There has to be some alternatives, or maybe ill just have to make one. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on where to get one, or instuctions/ pictures on how to make one? Thanks

You can try: www.galls.com
They have various models, some custom fit, some generic.

As Rich said Galls has different models.

I would suggest a Jotto Desk Console, or a show me console. The Jotto Desks may be a lil more, but you can get one that fits your vehicle and can have some nice features, like a built in cup holder, integrated cigarette plugs, and armrests..

Find the local radio dealer that puts the lights, sirens and radios into police cars....Generally the have an old Gamber Johnson or other old console sitting in a scrap pile....

New consoles are pretty, and pretty expensive.

Jim is right. Your best bet would be the local cop shop, or Ebay.

That's actually a really good idea, Jim... never thought about that. Anyone in the Denver area know one off the top of your head?

For many chase seasons, I've used the Gall's Horizontal StreetThunder XC 400 mount for my radios. It's held up really well and stays in place without any permanent mounting.

At under $50, it's been a good bang for the buck and has worked well for my needs.

I'm partial to these, since I am a dealer:

The nice part about these consoles is that you can adjust each individual bracket at the base, so it's not a one size must fit all radios type of a mount. You can adjust each bracket to fit what is going to be different radio sizes (scanners, CBs, ham radios, etc).

I've been using these mounts in my vehicles for four years and I've been very satisfied with the quality of Sho-Me products.
