Default cb radio installation help

Are there any grommeted holes in the cab, firewall or floor, where a cb radio coax cable can be routed? I want to install an antenna on the bedrail and run the cable into the cab w/o drilling a hole.

Only place is on the drivers side the main wiring harness the big rubber boot you can get a wire thru there and be sure to seal it on the outside. But a coax you might not want so close to the wiring (interference)

I know this will be frowned on but in my 3rd Gen, I just ran the wire through the back window and down below the seat... You could still securely lock the back window with no prob.... not sure with these power windows though....

let us know if you find a good place.

I just crawled under my quadcab and found a plastic plug (both sides) in the floorpan where rear passengers feet would be. Has anybody pulled up the carpet in the back? Is that a big job to do? Hopefully this is the way to get in....
