New Here

Hello,

I am new to this forum and wanted to make an introduction. I currently own a 2020 Ram 1500 Bighorn with the 5.7L. I previously had a 2019 Warlock with the V6. Happy I made the move to the Hemi. In my previous truck I had a CB radio and i wanted to movie it into my new truck but my new truck has the full center console and my old one had the front bench. Any ideas on where to locate a CB radio? Also looking for ideas on antenna mounting and cable running. Thanks in advance and super happy to be a part of this community
