Driving lights should be wired in th engine compartment with a relay. The relay should be triggered by a dash mounted switch which gets it's power from the low beam lights.

The CB can be hooked to the fuse box by using a "fuse tap" which can be purchased at the parts store. I have also heard of guys hooking their CB's directly to the battery with a fuse, to help eliminate any interference from the truck's electrical system.

Here's a diagram for the driving lights.

Just be aware it may not pass inspection (if you have them in your area) if you wire them to come on independently.
