This is a no-drill, Adjustable HAM / CB radio antenna mount that mounts to most all truck stake pockets. See dimensions for mounting configurations. There are usually 4X stake pockets on most American truck beds, as shown in the images. The plate material is 316 Stainless Steel with 4x M4 x 0.7 steel screws (2" long) and is very robust. The hooks are bare 5052 aluminum, with two black PLA spacers in between. This will not rust like untreated steel will. This mounts to several different types of trucks with different sized stake pockets.
The coax cable is routed through the rear firewall in the cab of the truck, up to the radio. The coax cable is not exposed to the elements and is covered in the truck bed. The coax connects to the optional SO-239 bulkhead connector, which connects to the CB / UHF / VHF / HF antenna.
Features:
Custom designed, made in USA stainless steel HAM radio antenna mount. Hole nominal size is for a standard SO-239 / PL-259 connector. It also fits a 3/8" stud connector as well (see images). These are good for a variety of antennas, especially long whip antennas.
Can mount UHF, VHF, HF, & CB antennas that are connectorized to a standard PL-259 / SO-239 connector
