Got an old SEARS CB, am only, just couldn't snag a sidebander at all.

Get yourself a body mount for it.
Or make up a 90 degree bracket that has one of those pl259 connector mounts
on it and mount it to the bumper.
Going with a standard bumper chain mount thing has always been in a PITA.

Find a bolt or plastic push in fastener under the bumper and put a flat
mount on it. Run 2 or 3 braids to nearby bolts for better SWR.
