Has anyone mounted a CB radio in their cab? Ever year I go on a road trip with multiple friends and the CB radio is an easy way to communicate with one another as we are going down the highway. Looking for ideas. My truck is the 5 passenger configuration with the center console.

Try the search box for "ham radio". There have been a few threads where people discuss how they ran the antenna cable and such.

In for this as well , trying to figure out where to mount my antenna.
If you want a front fender mount, this one works on the new body style:
Getting it through the firewall is a bit of a chore on the ED as there is not a lot of room where the built in hole is. After cutting the nipple I lubed the wire with Japanese knife oil and it went through fine, had to stop every now and then and back it out as the nipple started to collapse on itself.
Note that this pass through is not very big, so if you have a cable with connectors already you may need to cut one off.
Going to drill holes in the magazine rack on the drivers side console to mount my radio.
