    It's a 42 inch shaft with a real low angle of radiation. Nobody makes an antenna with a load that high. It is necessary to put the load as high as possible to get best performance. You can buy a Wilson 5000 and put a 4 foot shaft under it to accomplish similar results. The antenna is 81 inches long from bottom to top. Tip of whip is 13 foot 6 inches.

    When I drove a truck that had low antenna mounts on the mirror arms, such as a t-600, I always ran a 5ft top loaded whip. Always worked great for me. Nice build there rpc.

    [GALLERY=]I have found a place that made their own bracket, for the T700. It does mount in the rear, mounts to the rail that is already there. U will have to run ur coax under the cab. I have pics I will try to post. Pics r of everything being set up on passenger side. There is a plug on this side of engine u can use to run the coax threw[/GALLERY]. www.Walcott radio.com. 1-844-925-2688
