This document is a hand-drawn, single-page sketch (blueprint-style) for fabricating a mounting bracket for a CB radio. The header notes give the two key sizes: the CB unit itself measures 7 1/4" x 8 3/4", and the bracket blank measures 9 1/8" x 10". The drawing shows the flat layout (fold pattern) of the bracket: an outer outline approximately 10" wide by 9 1/8" tall, with an inner rectangle labeled "CB" measuring 7 1/4" wide by 8 3/4" tall representing the radio footprint. Dashed lines around the inner rectangle mark fold lines, and several arrows labeled "Fold" indicate where the sheet material should be bent — along the top (including a small tab/notch area at the top center), the left side, and the bottom edge. A reader can learn the exact cut dimensions of the bracket blank, the size of the CB it is designed to hold, and where to bend the flanges to wrap around the unit. The document contains no vehicle-specific information, part numbers, dates, or manufacturer text; it appears to be a shop-made fabrication template sketched by the owner.
