Re: Anyone running CB's in their truck these days?
Recently, I started wondering why I ever bothered installing a CB, Two days ago I remembered. Roads were glare Ice and traffic was just crawling. I turned on the CB; one car in the left ditch, a little further up a truck was stuck on the off ramp. I don't know if it helped anything, but at least I didn't have to wonder what was going on or how far it was backed up. CB is still useful.

Still running them myself along with a scanner. CBs in my suburban, toyota and flatbed. Plus I run a hand held when I travel any distance in my subaru

Re: Anyone running CB's in their truck these days?
I'm running this in mine. I replaced the factory antenna mast with a 36" base-loaded one. I used a small spring with 1/4-20 on one end and 3/8-24 on the other which lets me use the stock base. I put a SO239 bushing in the firewall to feed the lead into the cab. Between the radio and the antenna is an inverse multiplexer which allows the AM/FM radio to use the CB antenna, not the other way around.
