Default Cb radio help

Another mod i've been wanting to do is add a cb radio to my truck. I've searched the internet and cant find where people are mounting their cb radios. Does anybody have a cb radio in their 3rd gen ram? If so, can you provide pics. Also, has anybody tried the firestick hood mount for our trucks?

I removed the factory cup holders and made brackets that bolted in the mounting holes.

The top one is my CB, next one down is my full function siren w/ PA, below that is a switch box for my lightbar-grille lights-and dash lights, the bottom one is a scanner.

i got my radio either velcroed to the dash or i have it mounted on the panel underneath the steering wheel. both are good places to mount. My antenna is mounted to my toolbox in the bed, but i have seen a firestick mount work great
