Realistic TRC-454
The Defpom Realistic CB Radio Adjustments Page
Lot of useful info there.
TRC-454:
modulation boost/VR702B or Cut D704
power output/L903 L907 L908
I had a friend of mine that used to have one of these years ago - it was a blast!
First CB I ever got to use.
I found out which PLL chip is in it - the LC7110.
This is important to know if considering adding extra freq's.
Perhaps Mr Fatty, LooseCannon, Radio Tech, C2, Butt Fuzz, or others will read this thread and give you the answer you seek.

The LC7110 PLL uses internal ROM and BCD inputs.
Adding extra channels would be possible by using an Expo kit.. I believe the previous poster who said a "D" kit is correct. Good luck finding one though.. I just searched forever to find two new Galaxy "N" kits for a TRC-465 and TRC-453 of mine.

I'm not 100% sure but I think one of Lou Franklin's kits should work with the LC7110.

whats the point in adding channels nowadays? there is no one on them. why hack up a vintage radio for nothing?
Actually there is a lot of people on lower freq. like 26.915 and so on. When skip rolls in you will hear a lot of stations on these lower channels. Back in the early 90's there was a group of 20 of us that ran 26.905
Unfortunately there is no simple way to mod the radio, easiest most cost effective is to watch FeeBay for an Expo Kit.
I would probably not bother though, keep the radio as is, and buy something that covers where you want to go, That radio is a cool conversation piece, but I would leave it at that.
As for no one to talk to... Just wait if this Sunspot cycle ever gets on track....
