I mounted mine to the metal trim strip at the intersection of the windshield and the headliner. You can run the wiring behind that trim, and behind the trim on the A-pillar.

Under the ash tray with the mounting bracket that's almost always included. Pic in gallery to give you an idea of how it'll look.

Forgot to add...

On these year trucks, the ash tray comes straight down, not sliding out. I have an older CB that weighs a few pounds. It holds down the ash tray open. It does squeak when going over lots of bumps. It hasnt too bad with the lift kit and new shocks...
