I seen an antenna once that was mounted inside the cab at the base of the back window. The upohlstery along the back wall came up over it. Very slick.

there are aftermarket antennas avaliable from hot rod shops and what not, but in my opinion and ole rubber mast mount under the dash will work just fine, or you can mount it behind the as tank, inside the cowl, on the inside of a box side, etc.... or you can even french one into the side of the cab.

Junk Shack(Raio Shack) has one you can install inside the cab that goes around the inside of the windshield. I think it tucks in between the gasket and the windshield. Buddy of mine had one and the reception was great, and ya couldn't see it from outside the truck.
