Cb radio

[pentode]

Can I hook a ham right into my truck cb antenna or what special things do I need? Is it worth it? I guess

The simple answer is no, you'd need a different antenna. And bear in mind that in order to transmit legally on a ham radio you need a license and a call sign, and that requires taking and passing the Technician (basic) test first. It all goes a lot smoother if you have an interest in electronics to begin with. Plenty of "non-technical" people pass the Technician exam though, it just requires some study and learning, but I think there are lots of hams that don't do a ton of electronics as a hobby, they just enjoy talking to other people.

I’m not huge into electronics but tinker and know enough to fix most things. I was able to obtain my General license pretty easily which opens up more bands.
