I assume that you are referring to a magnetic mount one and it won;t mount to the roof? The easist thing to do for a magnetic mount (the ones thta look like a small computer mouse) is to take a piece of sheet metal and a pair of u bolts and make a flat mount that goes on the passenger side mirror tube. Use the pax side because the door gets opened less, and mount the metal to the mirror and mount the antenna to that. Many cb shops have those mounts already made.

I bought a truck antenna, and it came with mirror mount and clamp mount brackets. I'm assuming the T-2000 doesn't have the typical metal top and bottom mirror brackets, but rather the single arm that holds the mirror up from the bottom, as per the pic on the KW website.

In this case, if you have the clamp mount, or can get one at your local truck stop, you should be able to mount it on the back of the sleeper or cab. This is what the clamp style looks like
, although there variations on it. There should be a few places on the truck that this will clamp on to.

Thanks guys. It is not the small magnetic one, but the one pictured.
