CB Antenna Mounting

I have an '05 Screw with a soft tonneau cover. I was wondering where/how has anyone mounted a CB antenna on their pickemup trucks.

Thanks,

ts

I tried putting a 4' whip style mounted on the bed right behind my rear glass in the center. Found it was having trouble getting ground, then went with a magnetice K-30...and is a much better antenna and much better reception. I mounted it on the top of truck as far back as it could go in the center...right directly centered with my 3rd brake light!

I mounted mine on front fender and it seems to work fine. I could have put it on the roof but I park it in the garage nightly so that wouldn't work.

those dont work worth crap. CB frequency is totally lost through the glass.

I have a mag-mount on the roof. Its a pain because I have to take it off to get in the garage door of the shop. When I build my half-rack soon, Im going to rack mount a fiberglass whip.
