8) OK I wanted a cheap way to mount my laptop into my truck. I found this laptop mount on ebay and bought it. Nothing special at all, but it works and looks good. I have a strap to hold my laptop but its not in the pic. Also you can see my Tk760G in the truck also. Would love to hear some feed back from the pros. Thanks for looking 8)

Bad pics eh? Nah, he just exceeded his bandwidth allowance.

Can't say I've ever seen a laptop mount in a GM truck of that vintage. What radio is that in there?

The radio is a 25watt VHF Kenwood Tk760G. The GM truck is a 1989 chevy 1500. I don't know why the pic work and don't work but I posted a link to the site were they are hosted. Is that not working also??? I will play around with it and see.

$1800 Oh wait you have not seen the rest of the truck. Maybe $1000. No AC, radio does not work, only one door locks, one tinted window, broken U jont, and no spare tire, but I do have good news. I save alot of money by switching to Geico Insurance. :lol: the truck runs GREAT!!! V6 in it and it will get up and GO!!! Not to bad on gas too. I drive 20 miles to work and 20 miles home. I fill up 1 or 2 times a week.
