Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

[Scruffy49]

Once you get your equipment installed, tune to Channel 9 and just listen. I live a bit northeast of Memphis TN, cheap Walmart Cobra radio, cheap “braided stainless” coax cable, cheap firestick clone with a cracked cover, so I covered it in heat shrink tubing. Brush up on your Tex Mex Spanish, the Federales are hilarious… Channel 19 I can usually listen to Bakersfield CA while sitting in my driveway. Channel 21 I hear a lot of Quebecoise, 6 I hear Cajun French. Channel 8 locally is the drug runners and bootleggers.
Since the advent of cell towers, skip is outrageous…

Note, antenna is spring mounted to the headache rack of a 99 K3500 flatbed.

I had some movement going on for the past few months, so I forgot to update the thread.

Got the CB in and ran the whip off of the bumper. That seems to be working, so I don't think I've fried it yet.

While I was fixing the loosened bolts on the tilt column, I went ahead and got a new windshield wiper lever, replaced the shifter spring, put some LED lights behind the gauges, a new turn signal switch, and had the radio rebuilt and had an aux cord added.

I'd like to list my '87 1500 for sale, but I don't have the privileges needed. Do I have to hit a certain number of posts before I can list in the classified section?
