    I plan on running a separate power and coax so should I stick with the skip or a different antenna

    That all depends on your mounting location. From that point once you decide where you want to mount it or them I would measure from that point up to 13 foot 6 inches and see how long your measurement is and make my decision based upon that dimension

    Volvos are one of the last all steel body trucks. I wouldn't complain too much

    Really ? because ours has fiberglass from the mid roof up on the double bunk. Just as our Prostars do. Both have fiber glass hoods but the main part of the cabs are all tin steel.

    Besides it being a bit slower and smaller it is more comfortable overall but most important the turning radius and doing a 90 with the small nose swing seems a whole lot easier. If I could have the best of both worlds then I would be perfect but it is was it is. The idiot in the pink bunny rabbit flip flop could probably catch me know. I am having to get back behind trucks I normally eased by in the freight shaker. What is starting to irritate me with other drivers and 4 wheelers and if I go to pass anyone it's like they discover the gas peddle or to ashamed so they wind it out.

    I would like to keep my 5ft skip shooter. But the perch mounts up maybe too high and the bottom mirror bar is at a angle and I can't find a bracket to fit that wide of a arm.

    If it was me I would look for a shorter antenna more suitable for a higher mounting location
