[Ducman82]

Got my hood fender for both 94 and 06 from radio schack. they are different. and about $15. I have a 2 ft and a 4 ft antena. short to get in my garage and parking buildings. 4ft for out in the open road. Did have a roof mount an another rig but what a mess in a 7ft clearance parking area.

A CB antenna is one thing where functionality must rule over aesthetics. I have had to trouble shoot peoples systems where they ran dual antennas without knowing what they were doing. For a pickup, your best bet will be running a single high quality antenna and using the truck as a ground plane. Also, don't run a cb antenna within a foot of your AM/FM or other antenna as it will produce an undesirable SWR.

I installed the Wilson 1000 roof mount, better to have the best functioning antenna. I did not remove the headliner, removed the rear center overhead light and drilled through the roof there. You can easily feed the coax to the B-pillar and go down it then route to your radio, or feed it forward to the A-pillar and go down it to route it to your radio.



The Wilson antenna easily screws on/off if you need to remove it for low clearances and comes with a screw on cap to seal it off when you have the antenna off.



As far as a fender mount, I saw a real nice one made specifically for our trucks at Walcott CB, http://www.walcottcb,com/ They have all kinds of radios, antennas, mounts, etc, and the nice part is you don't have to leave home, just hit the BUY button.
