Put it on the inside roof like truckers or on the dash.

no...the roof is double walled....you're only putting holes on the inner wall, not the outer skin.
I only suggest that location if it's a big radio. If it's small, so how i did my old one.....convert to smoker pkg/ashtray, then mount your radio to the ash tray.

My old set-up, Cobra DX IV:
If you have a stick, I do not recommend it.

I'm digging that location. I'm robbing your idea when I find some buckets.
