CB Antenna
I debated quite a bit on where to mount a CB antenna. I did not want the roof magnetic mount because I did now want the cord hanging over the back of the cab and they often don't hold well.
I did not want something large. I don't care that much about range. I just want to listen to get road conditions when there is a traffic jam. I'll rarely talk on the radio.
I did not want to mount something to my toolbox or the bumper.
So this is what I came up with. I simply drilled a hole through the front lip of the bed.
I got the parts from a Flying J. Truck stops are a great place to get CB equipment. I bought an 18' piece of coax cable with a fitting on the end. This fitting went through the hole and was fastened with a nut. I think the antenna is a 4' antenna.
