[Mobile-Portable] Bonding of truck body parts

[Phil Atchley]

Hi All,

At first I was only going to put a 2M/440 rig in the truck (2005 F-150 super 
crewcab) but now am considering an HF installation as well.  Provided I can 
get an older, reasonably priced rig as budget IS a consideration.  Perhaps 
an Atlas 210 or?

Anyway, I don't have my radios yet, but I'm considering at least "preparing" 
the vehicle  for radio installations.  I think that a good starting point 
would be to bond all the various body parts together.  I.E. Hood and 
fenders, bed to cab, frame, exhaust, etc.

This is a "non-snow, non-salt" area (not much corrosion to worry about), and 
I have a moderate amount of good quality, mil-spec RG-213 from which I am 
considering "robbing" some of it's copper shield braid (which seems to be 
better than average).

Comments, suggestions please?  I'm NOT looking forward to crawling under and 
around this vehicle, I'm not as spry as I once was ;-)
