Noting the various setups in here, thought I would throw mine in... Antenna is a Maxrad CB base loaded whip. It is a bit more robust than the fiberglass top loaded models (Wilson or Firestik brands) and less apt to get bounced around in the wind. Thought my mounting location for the radio would help some folks as well, I just bolted the mount to the ashtray and used a long allen bolt to secure the ashtray in place through an existing threaded hole in the console. If you remove your ashtray in the Ranger, should be easy enough to see. In my opinion the hood channel mount Maxrad looks much more professional than your typical installations and this type of base loaded antenna is very efficient. It is also very easy to remove if necessary.
Hope this might help someone else out, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

P.S. Don't forget to tune your antenna...
