    Just picked up a 2012 cascadia 125 dd15 engine. And it use to be a old fleet truck. Mounted the cb in the cubbyhole above the steering wheel, but I did not see a power or ground wire only the coaxial cable.

    In the other cubbyhole on the passenger side there is a Zonar VT ecu hooked. I'm guessing that ran the eld system the previous company had in the truck.

    I was wondering how I could find my ground and power wire so I can get power to my radio or what other options do I have to run a new ground and hot wire. Thanks.

    Not to mention my own antenna. The built in antennas of that generation of Cascadias sucked.
