I have one of those Cobra all-in-the-handset CB radios with weather channels so I can't help much with where to mount a standard CB but I can help with the antenna. I have a no-ground-plane (NGP) antenna from FireStik that I mounted to replaced my factory AM/FM antenna. (It has to be NGP because we have no metal panels to mount a standard CB antenna.) Any NGP antenna will work but I found one with bottom load that is very sleek and looks like a factory antenna. I added FireStik's CB/AM/FM signal splitter so that I can have FM and CB from the same antenna (you lose AM when using an NGP antenna like this but who cares). DO NOT use one of those cheap AM/FM/CB splitters connected to a standard AM/FM antenna - they have a range measured in yards and could damage your CB.
