    I would use fresh lmr coax with amphonol ends,a tri mag mount(assumeing the roof is metal)and use almost any antenna you like..Centered on the roof that is..If its fibreglass roof...Get a big sheet of alumium under your interior and then do a perminate ant mount in roof center...If its not yours i dont know..Totired to think any more..

    Without Mother Nature's help that would be kind of hard to predict but it did happen quite often when I was running Coast to Coast and twister was working for Watkins doing his local job when he was living in Cheyenne Wyoming

    I highly recommend the guy that tuned this radio since he's also the same guy that did my radio..

    He's in Las Cruces New Mexico he's technically not open to the public but you can contact him on Facebook and his name is Mark Sherman.
    Just do a Google search for Fine Tune CB shop and you will find him
