I use to have a GMC Yukon that was decked exactly how I wanted well the transmission started to act up and it was drop $5800 on a tranny, transfer case and labor or down payment on a new truck.

What type of bracket did you use on the floor? Got a 2004 Silverado trying to install a radio, might try under the dash.

That looks nice and functional. Hanging out on the 88 repeater eh? I'm surprised you haven't caught 10k fever. I bet that wilson works good in that location. There's no substitute for good roof mount. -drdx

So how did you mount that 5/8ths ground plane onto the truck? Hit many power lines and trees with it? ;)

Fever? I have the 5000 cough. It has never let me down and I hit to many trees to keep one.

On my 2001 Silverado I mounted my radio under the dash with the bracket that came with the radio.

I'm sorry I didn't answer you, my apologies.
That is a triple stack mount by Gamber Johnson, and not worth the money I paid for it in my opinion.
