Hello,
So today my CB stuff came in, CB radio, CB antenna and coax with NMO mount.
This is what I got:

https://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/pctel-maxrad-mlb2700-706.html
https://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/comet-ck-3nmo-4368.html
So I planning on putting the CB under the dash, next to the steering column and where the dash/radio is (don't really know where else to put it. (The CB radio is a bit bigger than I realized, but oh well).
The antenna I want to put on the existing rear antenna hole, it's approx in the middle between the C-pillars, and I probably want to route the cable down that pillar and from there forward to the driver side dashboard. I figured that I can use the power from "that cable" that I fished out from underneath he carpeting (unless that's not enough). Before I want to start opening up holes, I better double check the antenna hole is the same size as the standard NMO mount.
Any tips, hints? (or suggestions where else to put the CB radio? (I was briefly thinking about putting it in the center console storage, on the driver side under the lid. (but heat?)
