to have a good ground plane i would mount it behind the cab right in the middle of the back of the bed
i would use a 3' or 4' foot antenna with a h/d spring
as for a mount you could use many most use a 3 way mirror mount and bolt them to the back
of you could get one that clips onto the fender if you like that i dont
or they have one thats called the gripper were it would gripp onto the bed of the truck
now make sure when you put the antenna on it has the plastic waser or nylock under the antenna between the antenna and mount this is so your antenna dose not gound out
or pick up a wilson 1000 or 5000 mag mount and set it in the center of the cab as far back as ya can
now for coax do your self a favor and dont get that rat shack stuff it is junk
get some thing like rg-8x or mini-8
if any one needs any cb help feel free to send me a pm cb radio is my thing
and have a small shop out of my home if ya need any thing or any help feel free to ask
