This is an antenna mount for a 3/8x24 vertical stud mount antenna. It attaches using standard fender bolts & washers onto the pre-drilled box link holes on a pickup truck. The measurements were derived from the 2018 - 2021 F-150 models, but it should fit other makes & models as well, so long as the truck has been drilled for box link anchors. This will fit in place of a boxlink tiedown anchor. It will not fit over the top of one. It's recommended to use PETG, ABS or some other similar exterior-grade material, as the mount will likely be exposed to the elements year-round. I have used this with 2m, 20m and 40m antennas (ham-sticks) and it supports the weight without deforming under mild-moderate weather conditions. I have not tested it under extreme weather conditions, however with the correct filament, it should hold up just fine in more severe weather. Holes are on the front and sides to route a wire for grounding the antenna to the vehicle. I run a 14gauge wire to one of the fender bolts that secure the mount in place, which bonds the ground side to the truck.
