M882 antenna brackets

[w200/m880]

Ive just got a replacement bed for my m882,it only has two antenna brackets on one side,i thought they had three,there are no holes for a third and tags for holding wiring harness inside bed are only on one side.
Another question how were antennas tied down,i saw a pic of a dodge with footman loops on the roof.

two on driver side & 1 on passenger side.
No evidence of footman loops on any M882 or M884 here.
I would guess the 2 on the driver side tied to the others base. & passenger side one to the rear bumper.

thanks Bob,strange then that theres no evidence of the third fitted.

Here's a shot of the passenger side location

On the inside there is a hole for the wire.

I have taken a pick of threaded union on pass side of bed,it does not have a hole and appears to be fitted in bed of truck previously pictured with footman loops on roof,what is it for,checked for holes on pass side and no antenna brackets were ever fitted.
Sprayed my 24 volt battery tray today and ww2 jeep frame as weathers nice for once.

for storing the plug cover of the radio equip, it hangs on a chain and could swing and damage radio equip.

That is a picture of Aswayze's M882... it came that way from the Forestry service.
Take that for what it is worth. I believe it came with two holes drilled in the bed.

And here is the other half for a commo truck. It pulls double duty as a cargo truck, and also hauls the S-250 shelter around a couple of times a year.

Yep, that's mine. It had footman loops on it that did not seem to be related to what the forest service was doing to it since there was no wear on the.

I used the CUCV antenna brackets on my M882, because I couldn't find the M882 antenna brackets in the Netherlands. It's not the original set up, but it will do.
