That might be a good option I am running out of room in my truck

 

With a handheld do you still need cb antenna or it just amplifies the signal

 

Not sure, but will start researching

 

@05prerun82 I would just get a unit and hardwire it in and mount it all nice and snug.

Handhelds are great for spotters, I just think you will be happier with a full unit in place. Just my $0.02

 

What you gonna mount the antenna to?

 

Ditch light bracket

 

The 10 meter radio that @Lord Humongous installed, remove a strap and it becomes a cb radio

Agreed

 

Yes

 

Well I liked the idea of mounting the cb unit under the seat and running the radio out of the dash somebody did it who.was it again

 

@TacoDude 72

 

@TacoDude 72

I bought the Stryker sr89mc radio, 20' rg58 coax and firestik firefly antenna at a local radio shop. They also modified the radio for me. It's sold as a ham 10 meter radio but it fairly easily converts to a high power 11meter (CB).
