Antenna Mount

[Boatcarpenter]

I posted in the radio section also, but is there a "proper" ant. mount for the Deuce or does it depend on the radio installed? I see STEAMYNACHOS wants to know also.

BC I believe these are the correct parts for the AS-1729 or AS-3900 antennas. If not let me know, please.

Thanks CT,
The truck mounted part is what I wanted to know about. My buddy with all the MV's offered me one off his M109 which has two so I guess I take it.

OK, now I have it, I find it won't fit between the cab and bed and be of any use, so, I'll find another place for it. Anybody have any great suggestions?

 

[Steamynachos]

Thanks for the info now I have the suger scoop mount but where would I get the standaway plate it mounts to?

 

[Deuceswild]

Hope this helps.

 

[Steamynachos]

now that looks good but where do you mount that on a drop side?

 

[Boatcarpenter]

Yes Jeff, that helps. now I'll start the search for the standoff or fab something up. BTW, just from what I can see in the pics your truck has a nice paint job!

Hey Steamynachos,
I could be mistaken but I belive that I have seen the MX-6707 Mounts mounted on the front of the box just inboard of the amber reflectors. If i can find some pics I'll post'em for you.
Jeff.

Boatcarpenter,
Thank you, and if you would like the dimensions for the stand-off let me know.
Jeff

The dimensions for the standoff are on my website at:

I've seen the antenna's mounted to the front of the bed on dropsides as well as on the right front fender just behind the lights... a nasty location from an engine service standpoint...

Thanks Cabell

I've seen them mounted on the front bumper and on the convoy light post too.

Now if you want a completely different place to mount one, Jeff Symanski at Tactical Truck (yeah, your buddy Adam) has the radio install kits for dump trucks. Also used on tractors. It has the same sugar scoop mount but has a different back to mount the anntenna right over the foot vent on the left side of the cab. The kits are totaly complete including the radio mount, tray, cables, sugar scoop and all the nuts and bolts.

How about the front fender?

Jeff.

That's where the one on my M35 was orignally mounted, but it was in the way of the slave receptacle so got relocated to the side.

Antenna stand off

I just bought one from www.Rapcoparts.com. It was NOS with a really solid backing plate that mounts on the oppoaite side for a solid fit. Email them a picture of what you want.
