Thanks guys for the responses.

I looked through the truck and didn't find a male plug anywhere. I did however re-find the bag of fuses that was taped to the inside the fuse panel.

The antenna's are factory wired and are one on each mirror. Don't know the exact distance, but there is plenty of distance.

From what I gather from others who have found this or a similar plug, they have just cut it off. Apparently, manufactures have their own accessories, and a CB wiring attachment/CB kit is one of them. This is what I was told, I don't know for sure if that is actually true.

So, tomorrow, I'll finish the install with bullet connectors and heat shrink. I'm stopping by a Radio Shack to see about an SWR meter. Hopefully it won't be to expensive.

I'm still having a hard time bringing myself to put screw holes for the mount bracket in the access panel. Can't really explain what it is, or why for me it is a problem, but you'd think there would be a bracket or holes already in place because it is so common for a CB to be installed. In the Mack I just got out of, there was a mount and push-close type power leads on the dash, out of the line of sight.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it all turns out.

Bret
