Dual antennas are not bad, used to run them all the time on a F150 pickup in the 70s. The only bad thing was they are kinda directional. I did not have them 8 foot apart, they were mounted on the mirrors. I put a lot of them in big trucks back then also. I could get 10-15 miles with them, but there is a lot more radio interferance now than there was then. The most important thing is to get a set of antennas with an adjustable SWR. You will need to set this after installation or you can cause radio damage and get poor performance. Also, do not cut the coax cable in the package, it has to be that length for a reason. You can run cable btween cab and bed, to frame rails, tie to frame rails, then through a grommet behind dashin firewall to CB. If you want the duals, you will have 2 cables to run, though. If you want it right, go to a CB shop. Jim
