No CB..
Got a Amateur Radio rig. But if need be in a dire emergency I can tune to the CB band.
A good no-drill mount is the Diamond K400 series lip mount.

I definitely recommend one! Mine is currently mounted under my glovebox, I plan on moving it next to my shifter like pictured above.
Here's how my antenna is mounted.
