2011 & Up F250/350 Fender Mount Antenna Bracket

[fcfd988]

Hello everyone,

I am starting this thread to see what folks are using for the 2011 Ford F250/350/etc. When you need to fender mount an antenna. We all know the best results will be obtained when going through the roof but there are certain applications where we must use the fender.

Due to a redesigned hood and fender on the 2011 and up models the previous brackets do not fit. I have posted a couple of pics of what I have seen used but wanted to poll everyone and see what else is being used. Perhaps something better. Please post pics if you have them

Thanks in advance.

Wes

Looks good. Our largest, local shop quotes me around 20 bucks(with OUT coax and nmo) for an actual 2011 F-350 fender specific mount, and that there are left and right side mounts. So untill I have the time, money and desire I am using 2 magmounts one with a 1/2wave for my Vhf LMR, and. 1/4wave for my APRS, my 8800, and by M800 are both drilled NMO on the roof.

I ordered the custom fit bracket for my fathers new 2011 F350 and then he decided he didn't want to install a radio in it. It bolts to an existing bolt in the fender, but in my opinion it places the antenna too far forward and it looks outta place. If I had installed it, I planned on modifing it to sit closer to the cab. After seeing these pictures, I like the install where you remove the side grill and mount behind that. I could have used mounts I already own.
