where to mount CB ant.?
 
ok on my 01, where would be a good place to mount my dual 4ft whips? I want to do it on the front corners of my bed. but I dont want to drill 8 holes in my bed. just in case I need to sell my truck. what have yall done? any ideas?

In the front corners you will soo two big holes in the stake pockets. Make some L brackets and bolt through there with big fender washers. I did this for a while until I built a headache rack and put it up there. Its kind of a pain to put the bolts in but it works.

Hope this helped.

Ya. Has to be mounted to steel. I believe. May want a second opinion on that.

its safer for them to have some sort of metal to metal contact.
