    Hi everyone!
    Not quite sure what it would be called, but I'm looking to buy something to mount my Ham antennas on. Looking for something like a bracket that goes behind the cab that would attach to each side of the bed. Like just the front part of a ladder rack. Hoping that it would not be much higher than the cab itself. It does not need to hold much weight.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks Matt. That would work great for HF or CB. I am running VHF and UHF. I need to be at least level with the cab. Don't want to drill into the roof and mag mounts are maintenance nightmares with corrosion and scratching the paint off.

    Have you got a decent CB/Ham radio store near you? Those guys should be able to help you out. I've got a Flying J's truck stop near me too. Has all kinds of stuff for different mounting setups..

    A headache rack will mount to the top of the bedrails and be a bit higher than the cab. This is the Rack-It headache rack but there are lots of styles and brands to choose from that have lots of places to mount brackets for the antennas.
