This isn't my setup. I don't remeber where I found these pics. This is how I want to mount a CB when I get around to it. Doing more necessary things so haven't had time to get into it.

I had a bit of a issue that side tracked me. I'm back on finishing up the CB install. Hopefully my firestick / antenna will be here any day too

Here's what I need to figure out. I got the cable for the antenna run through the firewall.

1. I need to find a mounting solution for the antenna connection under the dash (female to female adapter that attaches securely behind console).

2. I need to figure out how to secure the antenna cable to the mount... ground to chassis as well? (link to video describing what I need below).

3. Possibly an additional wire run for a power plug to connect the CB out of sight behind the console. Simple little cigarette lighter plug.

I want the connections hidden but almost resemble factory if somebody looks.

Another thing you will want to do is adjust the SWR for your antenna once you get everything set up. You will need an SWR meter in order to do it. It will be important for your radio’s performance.

I'll have to get one an SWR Meter I don't know why I didn't think of this before. However...

The Body Junction Block, has an option for a cell phone antenna. My truck was no equipped with that option. However, wiring is intact on the C3 (Cell Phone 6 way) connector. I'd like to make a plugin that powers the CB through that circuit. I have factory service manual but cannot find the pin out for that connector.

Does anybody know the pin out for:

- Body Junction Block
- Connector C3 - Cell Phone 6 Way?

I'm certain I can easily obtain the connector just need to know where to populate it.
