    I was thinking about this yesterday and wondering how well a rear fender mount and 102" + spring, or a Francis Amazer would work on my pick-up as opposed to a Wilson 1000 on the roof???? I'm thinking I'd rather drill one hole in the roof than one big one and three little ones in the fender. That looks like a Antenna Specialists mount.

    Good luck finding a new one. They've been out of production for years.

    I'll bet you can't even buy a good quality one. I've got an old one somewhere I think.

    I looked on ebay thinking I would find one of these and didn't. Guess I didn't look hard enough! I did find that Hustler one above and believe I would rather have it as this one.....unless I was doing an old vintage vehicle restoration.

    I like the Hustler for a lightweight antenna and I like the antenna specialists For A heavy stainless steel whip. if you over tighten the bolt with the Hustler ball mount you will strip it out and destroy it but the antenna Specialists Mount is solid aluminum with notches inside to prevent it from slipping with a heavy antenna and the highway patrol used the ones that were powder coated black. I had problems with a hustler ball mount falling over when I hit the brakes because there's no teeth to grab to prevent it from slipping it's strictly friction.
    my favorite ball mount is made out of cast iron and it's from back in the fifties made by General Electric

    Tram makes some light weight and tall antenna and cost isn't to bad. And there are a few different mounts that can go in spot mirrors where you don't need to go with tall antenna
