If you have put solar panels all over every available surface of the
vehicle and also have the antennas aforementioned you are a green whack
job.

when I was a teenager, my parents being very understanding thankfully,
we had 3 magnetic mount antennas on top of the mini van, and I wasn't
even a ham back then.
My dad's old 68 shevvy looked more like a porkupine then a truck most
times....i was forever either building or mounting different antennas
for the scanner, CB and LMR VHF radios on that old truck and didn't
always take off the previous antennas before sticking more on.
It was ok though, that truck had more holes in the floor boards and
fenders then it ever did from antenna mounts.

If you have more batteries and alternators in your pickup truck then a
semi, you might be a whack job.

If you look for potential antenna mounting positions, and how much
current the alternator can provide when you shop for a vehicle, you
might be a whack job.
