CB antenna

I remember my father-in-law bought a new Ford F150 back in the early 90's; it had a factory AM-FM-CB radio, and the antenna on the front passenger fender had the CB antenna built into it.
Perhaps a trip to a good Ford parts counter person could net you someone willing to search out this part number, then you could install this antenna in the stock radio position and not have to drill any holes at all. You'd have your radio and CB all in one.
I just cannot remember the year of that truck though.

If you have a toolbox in the bed that is a good place to mount it as long as you put it on the backside of it cause if it's too close to the back window the reflection will cause your swr's (standing wave ratio of the antenna) to be too high & damage the radio. I had an 102 inch stainless steel whip on the back of my aluminum toolbox in my 99 ranger with a battery cable run to the frame so the mount had a good ground. Worked awesome with my connex 4800 radio & Texas Star 667 linear amp.

I got a Wilson 5000 with a 60" Stainless Steel Whip on the top of my 06 with a magentic mount. Had the ole Cobra peaked and tuned, I can get 9-10 miles on a good day.
