Wanting to mount a CB to the roof without damaging outside

Hey guys. How can I mount a CB to the roof of my cab and not damage the outside of my truck? Also any ideas on how to run the coax/ power wire?

I could always mount it under the dash but I would like it better on the roof between the sunvisiors next the wind shield.

I don't know about your truck but my 88 f150 does not have any head liner, if you look at the roof of the truck from the inside you will notice an area about 6 inches wide I'm guessing and runs front to back of the roof. I used 1/4 inch long sheet metal screws to mount my cb to the roof in the same location your talking about. I took the A pillar trim off and 1 screw out of the trim that runs across the top of the inside of the windshield, push the coax and the power cable in between the trim and the windshield. Run the wires down the A pillar and pop the trim back on, you might have to pop the kick panel off depending on where you run your coax. On my cb the power wires were long enough I didn't have to add any and pluged the red wire right into the fuse panel.

There's a gallery in the photobucket with descriptions and pics of my install, link is in the sig (under Babe> CB Install). Up front there is (should be) a band you can screw/bolt the bracket to. Yours is a 89-91 though, I'm not sure that the cab is the same (I think it is).
