Paul,

One of the 1991 Vanagons I looked at last month had the radio installed vertically on the flat surface just in-front of the shift.  I have also seen them suspended from the roof on a bracket much like you would see a CB or VHF radio mounted in a boat or large truck.

They are in the radio location and look really good (not to mention very very functional and comforting). I could move them but I would rather locate the radio that I will mostly likely not be able to hear at highway speeds in a new location.
