PRM-T is the mount I used. Works fine. I used a 1/2" braid to make sure it grounded to the chassis.

I fabricated a mount for my Dual band (2/440hz) antenna using the truck bed stake pocket. Made the mount low enough to allow me replace the plastic cover if I need to remove the antenna for any reason.
I also added a spring to the mount since the antenna is about 48" long and it hits our garage doors goin in and out.. The spring allows the antenna to move without breaking off..
I had a fabricated mount on my old truck on the inside of the bed rail up by the cab. I want a tonneau cover for this one so can't go that route.
Thanks

I have a NMO mounted Larsen dual band antenna mounted on the right side lip of the hood.
If you are planning to go HF, plan to put up with a lot of RFI. I have tried all sorts of chokes and have everything bonded and I still get the injector noise. Ford is of zero help on the issue. A friend has his FT857D (same radio I use) on his 2012 3500 Duramax and no noise problems. He is using a larger Tarheel antenna than I have.
SO my advice to a HF radio operator, is to not buy a FOrd until they get their injectors properly shielded.
