Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 KF0ROC. Here's my rig! I had to use that antenna mount because Ford uses an aluminum body -- it won't hold a magnetic mount! And, despite the plethora of mounting methods, modern pickup manufacturers seem intent on making sure we can't use any of them! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) I thought only the beds were aluminum. Weird! It just dawned on me that in the early 70’s people used to joke that Datsuns were made out of beer cans.

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) My '87 Jeep YJ had the fiberglass hardtop on it. To mount a cell phone antenna, I used contact cement to fasten a fender washer to it. A little spray paint and you'd never notice it. Edited September 26 by Sgt. C.J.
