   In addition to the standard 'mirror' mount, which will mount an antenna 
to any horizontal or vertical piece of tubing 1/2" - 1 1/4" or so in 
diameter, the truck stops in this area all seem to have a mount consisting 
of a 'vise-grips' pair of locking pliers with an antenna mounting bracket 
welded to it.  That's a tool that should be in every ham's portable 
go-kit!
