It was really simple...
Rob,
All I had to do was remove the ashtray and the metal frame work that supports the ashtray. I then used the existing holes for the cb bracket that came with the radio. I did drill two new holes in the cb bracket to give a little more clearance for the side knobs to turn. I did not drill any hole in the truck which was a good thing for me. Too new a vehicle at this point to be drilling holes. I think the only downside is the radio sticks out too far. A guy I spoke to about the install that also lives in Colorado used double-sided tape to secure his radio. He also used some tie-wraps also I believe. Going the tape route will allow the radio to fit deeper into the ashtray location.
