CB Radio Equipment for Pickup Trucks

What You Should Know:

Equipment Considerations: Pick-up trucks offer a LOT of flexibility! Because they have ample cab room, full-sized radios like the Cobra 29 are popular choices. Magnetic antennas are often used, but fiberglass installations are the most popular due show more...

to their durability and mounting versatility. Dual fiberglass antenna installations are also very popular and offer increased range over single antenna installs.

Mounting Locations: The two most popular mounting locations for pick-ups are along the hood channel and on the bedrail/toolbox directly behind the cab. If mounting behind the cab, make sure to pick a length that allows for at least half of the antenna to be above the roofline to ensure acceptable performance. For best possible performance, we recommend mounting an antenna (magnetic or fiberglass) directly in the center of the roof -- the highest and most centrally located spot. (Hide Information)

The Cobra 148 GTL is a legend in the CB world and our top recommendation for a reliable, no-nonsense SSB mobile radio! Owners consistently praise this radio's durability and longevity, commonly reporting 10+ years of problem-free operations. In addition to long-range SSB capabilities, the 148 GTL features PA functionality, NB/ANL noise reduction, RF gain, tactile controls and a built-in SWR meter. Unlike many other SSB models, the radio doesn't include an oversized meter or flashy 5-digit frequency counter. If you're looking for style and flair, you'll want to check out our Galaxy SSB units.
