My son used to be big into CB, but he says that it is dropping off in 
popularity.  He didn't mount one in his new (new? 1980) pickup.  I would 
probably just buy a 5 watt walkie talkie.  All of them have to include all 40 
channels and 5 watts is the legal limit for CB.  No license is required for 
CB anymore.  The walkie talkie won't require any hard wiring or mounting.  
That will probably be good enough to stay in touch with some truckers for 
road conditions.

Just my 2 pence.
