With the vertical mounted on the pin box, I will deploy temporary radials in several directions from the pinbox to improve the counterpoise. Since there is no metal in the body or roof, I think the pin box will be an excellent place to mount the antenna. The frame should make a good counterpoise. When I don't want to unhook the tow rig, a couple large heavy grounding straps will attach to the truck to use it as well.
