I had a 12v tube/transistor hybrid CB in 1970-73. Had to squelsh it way down because of the engine noise. Took a while to warm up like all tube radios.

Your biggest problem may be finding a place to mount it. The guts of my 12v CB mounted in the trunk and a small head mounted below the dash. The sending unit in the trunk was probably 12" wide, 18" long, and 4" high.

Sounds like a neat quest. Good luck.
