When I had my Ferd F150 I had dual fiberglass whips mounted on the inside of
the bed behind the cab. I got lauged at by the serious CB people because the
whips were to close, they said they need to be mounted on the side mirror
brackets for a dual whip setup to work. Otherwise there to close, and there
is a technical reason behind this, just not sure of it now, was a few years
ago. The side mirror brackets on the DAK are probaly equal to the inside
width of the bed of my old F150, so putting it on the mirrors of the DAK
will probaly not work. I used a single 8 FT. fiberglass whip with a peaked
and tweaked CB, and it worked great...
