Searchbarred, found nothing. I want to put a CB in my truck, for no reason at all. I just think it will be cool to listen to cops and truckers etc, and let people know about speedtraps etc.

What all would I need to put in to do this? special attenna, wires, apart from the radio? help me out

First, you need to have 15 kids and live in the south. I don't know any steps after that.

Youre gonna need the actual radio, make sure it comes with the mic. You'll also need an antenna, I use a magnet mounted one because theyre super easy. It should come with the wiring and the jack to hook it up to the radio. Thats pretty much all you need.
I have a cheap radioshack radio with a magnet mounted antenna that had 17 feet of wire.

Not man people go on the radios actually. I just use it to bullshit around with my friends that have one. Theyre fun if youre going camping or out in the desert with your friends in a bunch of cars and you can talk shit and stuff

I don't think you can listen to cops, I though you could just talk to truckers and other people with CBs?

You can also wire them up to a horn/speaker type thing and yell at people.

I'm always using them at work while driving on logging roads. I've been meaning to buy one for my personal vehicle so I can drive on logging roads without the fear of getting run off the road by logging trucks.

If you don't actually have a use for a CB radio, I don't see why you would get one, they're kind of expensive.
