If you travel for a living you would.

Weather conditions - winter time is very important

Traffic conditions - a 1033 can back you up for miles

Sleep conditions- a conversation helps one focus and stay awake.

Our Trucks - cars and trucks with period CB's gets a lot of looks and replies such as: "What is that?" or "I use to run a CB back in the days.

Jus a few reasons why CB's are still used.

Offroading too. My friends and I get out in the mountains of Southwest Idaho a lot hitting trails and cell phone service is non-existent. CB's are an easy way to keep in touch with your group of four wheelers.

I’m enjoying the COOL cb’s in this thread. Almost ready to put mine in my 67 so the info I’m gathering here has been very helpful. I think it’s very COOL that you guys have so much info for someone like me who thinks vintage trucks and everything COOL that goes along with them is COOL. Sometimes people dont get that a man’s truck is his own ideas as to what is COOL. All the COOL vintage parts he hunts for and puts on his truck to make it COOL. All of his COOL friends that enjoy his COOLNESS etc........Keep all the COOL cb stuff coming because i think cb’s are COOL.

I have zero interest in Fords, but I don’t hang out on the Ford forum just so I can tell those who do that I don’t.
