Redneck, where on the Whelen site did you find that?
I found some other switch bank options:

Flip-up 8-Switch Panel for Sport Racing Car (DC 12V) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

Just did mine. Took about an hour to get it all done and cleaned up. Grinding the welds off to remove the bracket is a bit of a pain as there is no maneuver room until the bracket is off.
The only part I really struggled with was the external speaker. Where was I going to mount this thing that it wasn't an eyesore but could be clearly heard? The simple answer is nowhere but I didn't like that answer. This is what I came up with. The speaker is mounted on my windshield directly...

I see freqs posted for various rides. Some radios can be set up from the radio, others require programming through a computer. What I am hoping to do...
What would you charge to make one? I have an Extang Solid Fold so I would need a bracket about an inch taller. Also interested in knowing what antenna you have.
Questions for the OP about the radio and antenna install:
1) You link to a general page for the antenna mount and antenna, and list models that don't exactly match the products. So is the antenna/mount an NMO or PL-259?
