Custom CB antenna mount. Lots of pics
I finally put my old CB into the H2. I have had this old thing for about 17 years. It has been in two different trucks and my old Suburban. The shop I bought it from was an old guy who tweeked it to 7 watts, I think it was.
The antenna is a Wilson 1000. It is about 12-15 years old. It was about the best you could get when I got it. Not sure of the state of the art now. It's probably dated I imagine.
Anyway, I built a custom bracket to mount the antenna to the spare tire carrier. I did not want to drill any holes in the carrier, so I made it clamp on. Here are the brackets:
I lined them with inner tube rubber so they would not damage the finish of the carrier. In case I ever want to remove it.

Here it is in place. It is finished with Duracoat bedliner.

Re: Custom CB antenna mount. Lots of pics
Here it is with the antenna on:
It was dark when I got the CB mounted, so I'll have to get pictures of that tomorrow. I am not sure if it will stay where I have it now. I'll have to try it awhile and see if I like it. The antenna cable is also routed through the inside temporarily. I need to get an extension and then I will route it along the underbody and in through the firewall grommet. But it works for now.

Re: Custom CB antenna mount. Lots of pics
Here is the CB. I just have it on with industrial velcro for now. I'll try it for awhile and see if I like it there. For as big as the truck is, there really is not a lot of room for things like this!
