[QUOTE="Andy Cabrera, post: 869641, member: 67579"] Not the greatest in the world. CB antennas need vertical to get range, especially to transmit. This will work but it will only give you about 1 mile range. The way I see it you only have 2 options. 1 You can install a 4 ft whip behind the upper rear window trim with a groundless mount. That will give you a little better range. 2. Mount an antenna in the bed as per Mike Egan's project but use a floding mount so you can keep the antenna against the inner bed side intil you want it then you simply tip it up & you will get a clear 5 mile (10 on a great day) [/QUOTE]
