Default I need some help

I don't want any big antennas at all!
Something that is cheap and can do me good.
I have a single cab 89' F-150.
Something that will go from the bed of my truck to the top of the roof.
So help me out here.
Links please.

Default Antenna Setup

I would go with a Wilson 3' firestik, Make sure you use 18' coax. Mount the antenna to the inside of your bed rail (front near the back window you will have to drill 2 holes) Make sure you get your SWR set right or you can burn up your radio. Anything shorter than 3' and you won't pick-up or get out at all.

If you want an antenna that will meet your requirements then try the Wilson 1000 or 5000 mag mount.
(the bed is not a good place for your antenna )keep away from larson antenna's,but then again larson make's good back scratcher's...lol.
