GeoTool Pickup Truck Antenna Mount Size Guide
The rulers and templates will make it easier to measure stake pockets in tenths of an inch, just like in the metal shop. You will use these to accurately measure the dimensions of your stake pocket. Before cutting out and using the rulers and templates, make sure the rulers on this page are the correct size by comparing their length your own ruler. If the length is not correct, enlarge or decrease the size of the printout (using the print dialogue box in windows) make them the correct length. With my computer I had to increase the size of the printout by 104%. When the printed rulers are the correct length, the mount block templates will also be the correct sizes. Cut out the ruler at the right, including both the blank portion and the printed side.
Fold the ruler at 90° along the midline to increase stiffness of the ruler, and then use it to accurately measure the depth of the stake pocket. Use the two rulers together to measure the size of the internal mount if it is smaller than the outer stake pocket, or if the pocket has internal protrusions. Cut out the Mount Block Templates that most nearly fit your stake pocket size, and use them to determine the correct top opening dimension. Remember, some stake pockets have protrusions (i.e., Pre-2000± Dodges) or smaller interior dimensions (Toyota Tundra).
