I’m sure you can get a can app for your phone. Then just run it through blue tooth.

I say go for it. It is obvious you are a pro driver and could talk to your fellow truckers about your C8 all day long.

Got a chuckle out of that one. Chevy didn’t prepare for this.

But then you might not have room for your 8-track player...

Every time in recent years I’ve gotten bitten by the CB bug, I’ve found hardly anyone uses it and it’s mostly silence or the occasional dude preaching the bible on channel 22...

I thought about it but then decided to go for an 8-track tape deck instead, IMO, money better spent. Was also thinking about a set of whitewalls, now that's the **** right there.
