Didn't you mention you were picking up a radio when we were over at Mike's before he deployed?

The 208H is a great first radio unless you wanted to stay conservative and get a straight up 2 meter rig.

That's a nice bracket from Larsen but it's made for the 05-07 SuperDuty.

Larsen NMOK/SDANTPF [NMOK/SDANTPF] - $29.95 : The Antenna Farm :: , Your Two Way Radio Source!

The standard L bracket fender mount on the other hand should fit the bill for most vehicles including pre 2005 Ford trucks.

Yeah, I've been planning on getting one for a while, but just can't seem to make up my mind which one, or everytime I think I know what I want, the money doesn't seem to be available for it.

One of these times the stars will align (meaning money, and my indecisiveness) and I'll get one.
