I have Dodge Dually 3500 and I am trying to hook up my CB antenna.. My antenna mount will be on the bed so I am gonna have to come up through the trucks floorboard or somewhere to get it up to my front floor board. My question is where do I come in at or what is the easiest way to come in at?

 

Look for rubber body plugs under the cab or run the cable to the firewall and go through a grommet there.

could they be metal?

 

Like Scotty said I ran mine through a grommet by the clutch pedal and under the cab along the frame to the ariel that is mounted on the crossover tool box

Thanks guys, I will look into running it up to the firewall and then come in from there. I don’t guess you would remember how many feet your antenna cable was do you? I bought a 18 ft but I don’t know if that will be enough.

 

18 Ft is exactly what I used and I had extra but I was advised by the guy that matched my antenea not to cut it (don't know why) it did not work very well until I got him to match the antenea with a SWR meter. but it works ok now. I have the Cobra with all the controls on the mike with the weather chanels and I sure like it.

Jim O, Thanks alot for the help, I can't wait to get started .

 

Any thing divided by 3 is the correct lenghth for the cable.......ain't got time to explain.......

 

i know this has been asked before but could everyone post a picture of where they have there CB mounted? its a nightmare to try and find a place to mount a CB in these new trucks...
thanks

My brother used Bungi cords.......

1. Stand Radio straight up (antenna outlet on floor) with bottom of case against consol......use cords to go around consol ( lower ) and back to radio. Opens top unit no problem...not sure about bottom.

I did it a different way!

1. Get velcro
2. put it on bracket of radio
3. now put other piece on top of consol near passenger side angled a little so you can see numbers.
4 That's it.
When I open my top I simply hold radio a little......it has rode there for a year with no problems
Easy on Easy Off

 

oh good ideas, thanks a lot
