Where is the best place to mount a CB antenna on a pickup truck?

Are CB antennas universal?

Does a CB antenna need to be grounded?
Ground Your Antenna Mount If you’re using a standard CB antenna (i.e., anything except a no ground plane, or NGP, kit), you’ll need to make sure your antenna mount is solidly grounded to the vehicle’s chassis. A bad ground will result in an un-tunable antenna and sky-high SWR levels.
Is it better to run one CB antenna or two?
You’ve likely heard that dual antennas will increase your transmit and receive range, and this is partially true, as long as you’re talking to people either directly in front of or beyond your vehicle. Assuming no obstructions, a single CB antenna has a uniform, circular signal pattern.
