Peterbilt 387 CB Antenna location...

Just wondering. I hate the factory coax. The antennae double as the radio antenna for the stereo, too!

I want to run my own coax, but I don't know where I can mount my antenna. I'd be fine with mounting just one somewhere, but I'm not sure where I should mount or where I should run my coax cable. I have a pair of firesticks (the tunable ones) I could either do a dual configuration, but I'd rather just use one. I haven't selected any mounting hardware yet, because I don't even know where to mount the thing. Any suggestions, preferably with a photo, would be greatly appreciated!

I'm also trying to keep it simple... hence only using a single antenna, just in case I don't stay in this truck for long. I'm a company driver.

Here's a pic of my truck for reference.

 

Sounds good. I saw the freight liner Cascadia mirror mount before. Maybe it works on a Pete I just have to be careful not to drill or otherwise damage the truck in any way to use it.

Thanks for the suggestions!

 

Galaxy dx 979 it's tuned and peaked. I have a linear, but don't use it. Not hooked up. I don't think I could shoot that kind of skip with my little radio!

 

I wound up putting one of my firesticks on a mount on the back of my tractor at the top of the metal handle on the left wing. Sticks up just a little above the top of the truck and I get fantastic SWR readings now. I hear good and now when I key up, I don't hear it through my stereo speakers! I ran a K40 weatherproof coax through my toolbox door and out the slot below my bunk into my cab to reach my radio. got the mount and cables with points! Much happier!
