Yes there are 2 holes in the firewall that I know of. One is lower so you can run it to a PA system and another is up higher that you can run to the battery. There are both types of bed liner, spray on and roll on, should be able to find them at most autopart stores. When your done post some pics of the CB. Where do you think your going to mount it? Good luck

well i got the floor shift 4x4 so i was planing on puting it just to the right of that.
It will have to wait till tomarow tho i had to run into town and get some stuff and i got to work at 8:00 so i just washed it again because some bird **** on the hood !
It may be a few weeks for the lights because i still got to order them. and do you think a set of long range and a set of driving lights thats what i was looking into. I got two old ones that im taking off and may put on the bottom, they are rectangular so no ned for fogs or i may just get mose small ones for behined the valance. let me know what kind of lights to get was looking into kc's.
