CB Antenna mounting location for aluminum bodied truck?

[sagebel]

Like the thread topic says: Where and how do I mount a good CB antenna to my new truck? Pics and a short description of how well it works are highly desired. Thanks.

We've started adding back racks or headache racks and mounted them there. Either folding or non-folding brackets

This company has a few different options of these. I got one for my 13 when my headache rack wouldn't play nice with the toolbox and fifth wheel hitch. For an antenna, it should be fine. A lightbar (Whelen mini century) is too heavy for the design.

Bulletproof makes a 3rd brake light housing type deal that mounts an antenna. They ain’t cheap if I remember right, but it’s an option

I don’t think I would trust that to not leak. Last company I worked for ended up buying back racks for all the trucks to mount lights and antennas to. After the half assed round magnet wouldn’t work and destroyed the paint on all the brand new trucks.

Thanks guys. It looks like I am going to try the cheaper model from Larson Electronics.
