hey I want to put a cb radio in my truck but I don't want to drill holes in my cup holder.I cant seem to find anyplace to mount the bracket for my cb radio in this truck and I cant find any plug under the floor so I can slip the wire out for the antenna.anyone ever mount a cb radio in their truck and if so how did you do it?thanks

 

I had one mounted for years in my 04. i mounted mine standing up (where the ***** are pointing toward the roof) and ran all wires through the firewall.

 

Take a look on eBay. Bandit74. I have these in my 12 2500. They work great.

 

I thought those things went out of style about 40 years ago. Big rig truckers are all I ever see with them nowadays...or possibly a wrecker

 

I've Velcro'd them to the dash. Run the wires down by the windshield and across to the doors then drop down and under and out.
Big CB with amp and tuner on top.
100W and over 300 channels with upper and lower sides.
102" stainless whip with 18' of coax.
I could get out and touch people. Lol.

 

Iv got a 2005 I mounted my cobra 29 in my center console when you open console and since there is a power point in console power issue solved and ran antenna cable around through console on right side just rear and below right console hinge after it was all done there is only about 1 in of cable visible from back seat radio is mount in console with the cb mount at back of radio and has a single spring under front so when console is opened radio comes up just enough get access to the ***** and whens it not used mic and radio are completely hidden inside console other than the antenna you wouldn't know there is a CB in my truck unless console is open

 

Really!!! I was a CB nut when I was a yonker, but since the advent of the cell phone I've never given one a thought...

 

I just have a handheld cb that i hang from the light area on the roof on my 2nd gen. Just run the coax out to the antenna through the firewall to my hood mount.

 

well the cb is good for road reports from the truckers on the highway thats one reason i like it.other than that i always had a cb in my trucks and always will i just like them but thats just me.my buddy and i use them also when we go hunting etc you cant talk on a cell phone here while you drive but guess what you can talk on a cb radio and not get a ticket like with a cell lol.thunder how do you run your coax out of the truck?dont you guys pick up alternator sounds from the engine going into the firewall?

 

Running through the firewall isn't the issue for alternator noise. Its from an unclean power source. You can buy filters for that if needed. Sometimes you have to drill a hole for the coax. I've just ran it through the door jam before and its lasted fine if done right.
On a side note, the proper set up gets quite large but for best performance you require 18' of coaxial and a single 102" stainless antenna.
Not always a welcome thing.
Look for the best wound fiberglass antenna. Firesticks have always been good. Lots of wire coil. Stay away from antenna with a single wire ip the center or antenna with a weather station load in them. The short wrap about halfway up. They limit the radio.
I suggest you Google CB radio forums and discuss what's new out there and what's best for you application.
