CB ant. question?

I want to put a whip on my 84 f-150 super cab, but I am unsure of where to run the wire! I dont want my cb antena going through my back widnow or my doors. So How/where did you all run yours?


Thanks,
Alpine

Check behind the seat. My truck had some holes with removable plastic plugs about the size of a snuff can. I drilled out one of them and ran my wire through it with a gormet.

Where are you planning on mounting the antenna? If the coax is long enuf you can run it out thru the firewall (should be lots of extra rubber plugs etc for you to go thru) and then under the cab.

I put my wires through the vent windows, but that only works if you put your antenna(s) on the mirriors.

There's an unused rubber plug in the door jamb above & forward of the power door boot location. You can puch the antenna cable thru it and silicone it closed, then run the wire out to the mirror, if that's what you want.
