Band..brings back old memories. I certainly agree..mount on top of roof. Best set up was my old E150 van. 5/8 Drilled/mounted top dead center of roof..great send/rec.
But, you don't need to drill thru cab roof to get good results. Current ride I use mag. mount on top/center of cab. If carrying boat, I move mag. over to side of carrier. Both ways I get very low swr's. Using adjustable one's..even both my francis give real low swr's.
2/3 of antenna above cab. is what I found worked best for me when I had mount on bed rail (behind cab) I figured out how long mount needed to be to get my 6ft francis 2/3 above cab roof. Surprising at time..got really low swr's with no adjustments. I did use string to cab (lense screw) to keep it more vertical OTR. Used with mag. on cab top (while stopped) really increased send/rec. So...
Would imagine Z71 has the idea by now.
