Getting mounted-where do you mount yours?

[boomer]

I have/had trucks with radio mounts in them,and also radio's. But no antenna bases. I have seen various locations. Where have you put yours, and why?

My wrecker has a rack mounted to the rear portion of the trans tunnel btwn the seats. It also has 2 antenna mounts. One is on the drivers side fender and the other is on the drivers side of the hard top. Top of the scoop is even with the top of the door glass. One of my m35's have a scoop on the front passenger side of the bed. Didnt see any rack mounting locations tho. Thats the what and where but i have no why for ya brother.

dropside cargo bed

I put mine on the front of the bed due to the dropsides.

When I rig my fire trucks, I mount the antenna(ae) as far to the driver's side as possible. Trees tend to be higher toward the middle of the street, therefore less damage to my antenna(ae).

One of my trucks had a radio system in it (M1009 doesn't count, we're talking Deuces). The base was under the co-drivers seat and judging by the holes on the side of the truck, the antenna was bolted to the passenger side, back towards the rear of the bed. Just a guess tho. If yours had an antenna at any time in the past, just follow the holes (does that sound wrong to anyone else?). That should give you the best idea of where to put yours.

Hope this helps

I have an M35A3 that I fabricated a wooden frame for that fits in the glove/map box and holds both my stereo and CB radio. I mounted a 4' fiberglass antenna on both the headlight coves and used a signal splitter from "fire stick" that allows me to use both antennas for the CB and Stereo at the same time. Works great.

There is a SINGCARS installation manual over on www.jatonkam35s.com in the deuce TM section. The show mounting the antenna base on a pipe mounted in the driver's side Machine gun ring mount location on the back of the cab. This also shows the location for the radio itself.

Quite a few threads have covered antenna mount placement:

When I first saw the title of this thread,-getting-mounted-where-do-you-mount--, I thought it was ANOTHER GIMP thread.

I'm crying right now, and my sides really hurt.
