Third picture - base with what looks like a ring of magnets - looks like it could be a non-factory mounting plate for a Convoy Light. Just guessing, but I wouldn't think (maybe I shouldn't?) that an antenna would be mounted that high and on a magnetic base.
I think the DeCon apparatus wasn't important enough to remove. I have two trucks with the same hardware hanging off the back - minus that "magnetic looking pole" on the right back of your truck.
I included a picture of the “mast” to that magnetic thingy picture. It indicates some sort of communication gizmo. There is a computer mount in the cab…?

Yes on one truck. Not the other and one has a group of 6 holes drilled in the right side of the cab where a BIG antenna would have been on my truck with the empty comm rack in the back behind the seat.
I’ve got the commo rack between the seats too. This had 2 antenna base mounts bolted to the upper rear cab corners. One base is with the truck - the other mount / base is gone.
It's for satellite tracking system

Its where you mount the decon stuff. Its not there. Bottom right pic is your abs module. You can take the antenna mag mount bracket off if you want.

Blue force tracking is the magnetic antenna mount. Also used on other trucks.
Common on front of hmmwv windshields also
Picture of one on my m923 thread.
The m43 pic is the remote alarm for the system.
Probably can be made to sound with 24v and a switch?

Yea, that was an old style antenna base for a data radio/terminal and tracking system. If you google the name on the antenna mount you can see the current version they manufacture. The old style used that mag base and an antenna array, the new style is a dome. Basically 1 or 2 rigs in a group would have these as C&C vehicles.
As mentioned that is the mounting place for the decon kit, basically a 5gal jerry can with cleaning fluid.

And that bolt hole pattern matches the standard Jerry can base. I carried a water can there on my last truck.
Thanks; I hadn’t quite located the ABS module yet. Somewhere I read it was by the cab hydraulic manual pump. Was beginning to scratch my head.

Cab manual pump is forward of the toolbox/fuel tank on the passenger side.

Found this pic I had saved. This is what the decon kit looks like. I think the TM lists the car wash goodies...
I think I have the container - but not the bracket or accessories.

Bracket is a standard fuel/water can holder.
