    But that's your own mount if I'm not mistaken' don't you have an antenna on passenger mirror for am fm tv and the one on the drivers mirror doubles for a cb Antenna '

    No thats not my own mount. Its a factory mount. I have a small antenna mounted on drivers mirror that doubles as tv/radio antenna and a small square factory antenna for sirius xm. Cb has its own bracket and coax FACTORY mounted on back of sleeper

    That may be functional, but it sure isn't optimal. Is the back of that cab metal or fiberglass?
