-The main #4 power cables were brought out to the bus bars I got from amazon.  These were screwed into the floor metal under the carpet where there was a "hump" or free space.  Importantly the negative cable was brought to the chassis ground before the bus bar to prevent a floating ground.  The connectors were coated with silicone lube for good measure.  In the future should an additional radio or connection need to be made, this provides a high amperage point to connect to.

-This Idea was abandoned when we saw the potential for a rigid antenna to cause the roof sheet metal to bend if it impacts something.  I changed out the antennas to a VHF/UHF Tram Browning antenna on the passenger side and a super flexible whip for 900.  This left 220 as the remaining band and a [https://breedlovemounts.com/store/ols/products/ezn-stake-pocket-bracket-long Breedlove] mount was procured that fit in the pocket in the rear of the truck.  The plastic did need to be trimmed to accommodate this.  Breedlove doesn't offer a NMO base that uses an N connector for their mount so I brought a 5/8" one from Tram Browning.  There was a 3/8" to NMO adapter needed for the Hustler 220 antenna too.  When this was installed, the entire truck can be shaken from the mount; it is that secure.
