Antenna Pickup Bed Mount for Amateur or CB
 

This is a bracket for the pick-up truck so you can mount the antenna on the bed behind the cab. It was made for a Dodge truck but will fit all trucks by using different adjustments. The original bracket was designed to fit across a bed wall that was 2-1/2 inches wide across the top with only 1-1/4 inch access between the cab and bed but this will fit with only 1 inch access. The bracket is 2 inches wide and made from 3/8 inch thick aluminum alloy (6061) with a 5/8 inch hole for the mount.


This mount was made by Breedlove and he has included more adjustments for smaller sizes with extra brackets that are included. All aluminum alloy and as usual, stronger than it needs to be. The push plate that comes with it is to give it a better grip on the truck bed and to keep the bolts from marking the truck.

Technically - the flaw in the slaw is the fact that your antenna bracket sucks.
When you mount a antenna, you want to mount it as far away from anything metallic that could reflect the signal as possible.

The bracket you have is the lazymans way of installing a antenna.

In order to attach the antenna to the bed and make the bed capacitive, you would need to attach 4 copper ground straps at least one inch wide - braid to the 4 corners of the bed to the frame and 2 to the cab and 4 from the cab to the frame and two from the front sheet metal to the frame and one from the engine to the frame and one from the transmission to the frame and one on each corner to the axles to make the body appear as if it was one solid object.

The problem with this is - most people are cheap and lazy and refuses to spend money and does not understand how transmitting works and omits these difficult steps from the install.
After they install it and finds that it does not work as designed, they blame the mount and got to some other type of mount or antenna.
