Well, I can only think of 3 holes you'll need to drill. To for the CB mounting bracket, and one for the mic bracket. Coax cable for the antenna can be run through an existing gromet in the cab.

You can run cables into the cab from the front or the rear of the cab. In the front, there's a little hole in the firewall that's covered up by a rubber gasket. Just poke a small hole in it and feed through the cable. As for the rear of the truck, towards the bottom floorboard in the back, there are air vents which are large enough to slide a cable through and run behind the trim and you wouldn't even know it was there.
