    Does anyone have any pointers on rerouting CB Coaxial through the back of the cab on a Peterbilt 389? I’m thinking of running a cb antenna out the back of my daycab over the rear window.

    Through the floor under the bunk through a rubber grommet.

    I was thinking of mounting an antenna above the back window. I wonder if I could run the coax under the headliner and then drill out a rivet I’ve the back window.

    The roof of the cab or sleeper would be best as to Omni-directional radiation.

    Trailer determines a lot. A van would see me use a pair of phased antennas.

    Thanks. I also failed to note that.

    Pete 579. This factory mount tab also seen on 389.

    But earlier options I mentioned would be first for me.

    A pair of Wilson 2000 on TOP GUN TEC studs on HD mirror arm mounts. Custom 389 coax assembly. All at Bobs CB.

    There should be rubber grommets under the floor mat or in the rear cab wall, much better idea than drilling out rivets...
