This is my CB solution that leaves no marks on the truck bed. The antenna comes with 9 feet of wiring which is just enough to go under the antenna bracket, under the truck to the rear drivers door threshold. There I drill a hole and bring it into the valley under the threshold and snake it under the carpet to the center console. The plastic tray in the lower center console is removed with 2 small screws. There is a cable attached to the rear of the plastic tray so be careful. The center section is temporarily removed with 4 18mm bolts to allow the antenna cable to route under it. The power for this antenna can be connected to the 12 volt outlet on the back side of the center console.
The side hole I mark after placing the bracket in the post hole. I drill and tap it for a 1/2 bolt 20 threads per inch. Use washers on the inside to space the bracket properly. Seal it so water does not rust the underside.
