Default CB Radio - Coax wire

I have a '93 F-150 and want to have a CB Set-up. I see a few rubber plugs on the bottom of the cab, is this where you guys are running your wire through your cab to your bed? Any help here is appreciated!

I pulled a plug under my rear seat when I put mine through. It was only temporary but it worked at the time.

ham radio for me, but we the same cable a I use the one under the rear seat as well, I try to center an "x" cut in the bushing and push the cable through and then put a connector on. Others just make a cut in the bushings, slide the terminated cable in and replace the bushing.

Make sure you have good grounds and fuse the wiring.

I used a hole in the firewall that already had some stuff coming through it. Out there, down to the bottom of the truck, secured to the frame rail all the way back to the bed.
