    I'm trying to run my coax cable from my antenna to my CB inside the cab but i can't find a good access point. I have a 2004 F150 FX4 flareside (imgur: the simple image sharer) and there isn't much space between the cab and bed and I can't find any rubber plugs or anything to run it through so i don't have to drill. i'd prefer not to drill, but if necessary i will. I included a link (My f150 flareside - Imgur) to an album i put together to show a little bit about the truck and what i'm talking about. If anyone can throw out some suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

    awesome man, i would appreciate it. only place i could find without drilling is through the door but im assuming that would mess up the coax reception/transmission

    i've definitely thought about the amp, however i know they are "illegal" and was also wondering how it would affect the signal with only a 4' firestik.
