CB Radio Installation

Hi All. Looking for some insight for the installation of a CB in my 08 F250. I was thinking of installing the radio in the overhead storage bin (the radio is small and will fit nicely, without any cutting or drilling of the console).

My question is: where can I run the power and ground to? I would like to hardwire this in, since it will be far above my power/cig lighter. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

Im not too familiar with the console set-up but i would think you should be able to penetrate the console through the headliner and route through to the upper windshield molding then down along the side pillar and ending up to the side of and under the dash.

Do a search on the 97 to 03 Diesel forum for CB mounting. There is a post in there with TONS of pics for installations.
