Default New Antennas

Since I know that some of you guys are really good at using photo shop and I suck at it and don't have the patients for it I was wondering if someone had some time to put some black antennas on either my mirrors or between my cab and my bed. I recently got a CB and wanted to put duel ant. on it but wasn't sure what it would look like. Below is the link to one of my earlier posts with some pics of the truck. Thanks a lot!

I think a couple of firesticks mounted in the front stake holes would look really good.

I can't mount them in the stake holes because I have a tonneau cover on it. I would have to mount them under the front rail of it or something like thatif I decide to put them on the bed instead of the mirrors.

Yours would prolly look a lot like mine.

Hopefully you can get em on the rail in front of the tonneau cover. I don't think I've seen any trucks like ours with em on the mirrors.

Good luck and nice lookin truck!

well, here's a couple. i made a few with real pictures of antennas, but they are so thin, that with the superimpositions and whatnot, you couldn't even see them. so i just mocked up some black lines about the right size but made them extra thick so you could see them

They make bracets that mount in the stake holes that stick out over the side of the bed so you can still mount your antennas
