Access holes?

I'm about to connect a CB antenna to the flat bed of my '05 Screw. Was wondering, before I go through the trouble of removing the seat, if any one knew if there were access holes behind the rear seat that will allow me to snake the antenna wire through the back of the cab?

Thanks!

There are grommets in the wiring channels below the door sill plates that might be better for that purpose.

Where exactly are you mounting this antenna. You mentioned "flat bed"??

Ahhhh...I looked under the truck and found the grommets you were talking about. Those may just work "perfecter" than going behind the seat or (my original plan) going through the firewall by the steering column, all the way under the truck and back up. Hopefully the tips of the antenna cable will be able to fit through the hole.

Yeah, I managed to alter two stock flat antenna brackets and bolted them (one on each side) under the trims of the rails of the flat bed - near where the stake holes are. I have it so that the antennas mount right between the flatbed and the cab. Looks great and they don't even get in the way of my my tonneau cover.

Once I have everything together, I was thinking of posting a "How-To".
