All the ones I've seen are mounted on the left front of the bed, above the cargo storage door. I have also seen two mounted on the same side one in front of and one behind the wheel well. I do not recall ever seeing any mounted on the right side but I am sure its possible that some were though.

The ant. mount in the top post (ab/243) is for the older tube type radios, the later transistorized sets(introduced 1966) used different mount designs. The radios and antennas were mounted according to the installation inst. for each type of radio set. However it was necessary for antennas to be as far from each other as possible so they were mounted in each corner of the bed. If you have only one coat of paint on the bed you can find the knockouts for the ant. cable on the bed sides (outside), there arent knockouts for the mounting bolts. Radio sets were installed starting w/ the front drivers side always.

I got my antenna and the base set up from John at Midwest and it is great. The holes were punched out in the right front of my bed. John's antenna mount bolted up the holes perfectly.
