Greetings,

I’m looking for pickup truck owners who would be willing to provide
measurements for, and feedback on, three prototype heavy-duty brackets
for mounting HF antennas to pickup truck beds.

The brackets a (1) front bed wall bracket with lay-back feature for
large screwdriver/motorized antennas; (2) stake pocket bracket for
large antennas; and (3) long bracket for multiple antennas that
extends across the entire width of the bed and is attached to two
stake pockets.

Your input would help me to obtain information on a variety of makes
and models of trucks, and to get feedback on what may work well, or
not, on your particular truck. I’ve gotten some information from
manufacturers’ web sites, but additional “real world” information is
important for good product design!

If I get sufficient measurement information, I’ll post it on my web
site Downloads page as it may be useful to others.

If you would be willing to provide information, please click on this
link (http://www.repdesign.us/gpage8.html ) to my web page which has
the measurements I’m looking for and descriptions with diagrams of the
three bracket designs. On this page I also have a link to an on-line
Feedback Form that you can use to provide as much or little of the
information as you like. You can also email or phone me with the
information if so desired. My contact information is linked on this
page as well.

Thanks in advance to those who would be willing to provide
information, and it’s much appreciated!
