Antenna mounting
Yes you can weld tabs to mount your whips on. Just remember to use the nylon spacers if supplied. Make sure to drill the holes for the spacers the right size. I've been mounting antennas since 74'. Usually the guys will hook the passenger side antenna, to a scanner and the drivers side to the CB or Ham transciever.
For daul antennas. If you can not get at least 102 inches between the antennas you are just wasting your time. One stand along will out preform a daul co-phase anytime if the are less than 102". I have done many of field test on this.
Now in my opinion, the cab mount antenna is the best thing other than a 102 in stainless whip.
