i could never find them before then i took my wife to a romantic dinner at a local truck stop lol it was about 2300 hrs then when we are leaving i looked at the truck stuff and saw the connector that im looking for but they wanted 15 bucks for  10' and that connector so i didn't pick it up just looking to see if i can find it cheaper on line

That's the one. For the life of me I can't remeber the actual name for that thing though. Alot of guys I know call it the Motorola Cable.

OK i don't have access to my truck right now so I'm trying to figure out how much wire i would need to reach from under the dash to the front side of tool box in between the cab and bed I'm thinking about 12' should cover it ???

 RG-56 coax with PL-259 ends for the CB, you want 18ft for the best receive and transmitt.
The FM radio coax for your firestick uses RG-56 coax with one PLL-259 end and the push in connector for the receiver end, length doesn't matter.
