I have holes in the trans tunnel behind the center console where something was mounted to the floor. I wonder if that was some type of cradle for the stocks of the guns. My 87's have not had any holes in the underside of the trunk for weapons there.

I can't seem to find pics right now but my 87 was/is set up with a canvas gun case mounted to the underside of the trunk lid with two simple "gun rack" brackets across the front of the back seat. Tony's pic shows one type of radar used and others were also utilized. Mine has the BEE doppler type with two (front/rear) antennas. If you look in the special events page of Mike R's site under the Ford 2003 Anniversary there are some pics of my car as well as Tony's. His site (Tony as well as Roman's) offer great pics of the various DPS set-ups.

Default Radars (txdps)

Several different brands of radars were used. That's because many of the radars were purchased by the county officials and county governments (locally). In my restoration, I chose to go with the tan counter box and tan colored antenna heads from Decatur. For my car, that wasn't exact but it works and few if any know the difference or even remember. But there were SOME '93 Texas cars that had my kind of Decatur (tan colored) radar and I have pictures to verify.

A lot of the Texas cars had the BEE Stalker units. But finding one not working (for me) was difficult so I went with the path of least resistance.

Some of you probably prefer the radar to be operational. Mine is inoperable and not hooked-up. It's for cosmetic only anyway.
