Factory CB installation

Picked up a factory CB system for my '79. Anyone know where I can find a diagram/schematic to install it?

Here are the three pages of illustrations from the Ford parts catalog.
Not a lot of specifics or details, but maybe it'll help get you started.

FTE member ranger429 is the OEM CB guru! He has not been on here since Jan, so you might have to track him down on the FSB (Full Size Bronco) site?

Should not be something we can't thrash through here if needed. There's not that many parts and most are pretty self-explanatory if you've installed stereos and CBs before.

My brown truck, the 78, came with the factory CB radio. The CB radio had been removed before I bought the truck, but the truck still has the special CB antenna and the antenna splitter.
