Thank you so much for all the Birthday wishes! (sarcasm)
I received the radio, speakers and antenna today. They look nice! Been thinking a lot about how to proceed with the overhead console in the M923 truck. I checked out what one member did in his Deuce. Unfortunately that will not work in the M939 series due to a fat windshield wiper motor size. I called several members for advise and I think i came up with the design I am going to try. I will have to notch the shelf for the wiper motors. The bottom of the wiper motors will hang below the bottom of the shelf. I will fabricate a separate sheet-metal cover to cover the protruding wiper motors. I also plan to piece the shelf and screw the individual together so it will be easier to access the wiper motors for servicing. This way I don't have to remove the entire shelf to access components on or behind the shelf.
I plan to mount the radio, CB and speakers on top of the shelf (console). Also a spot to hold my iphone. I will also hang the fan I just purchased up side down under the shelf. I will also mare some type of storage compartments above the shelf as well. Can store CD's and light personal items there on trips. I also ordered some large sun visors for the cab. 28" by 8". I can mount them under the console as well. Will need to also install power outlets to keep the iphone or MP3 player charged. Also need power up there for the CB, radio and fan.
