Thanks Tom! The antenna is a FireStik that I also bought at the Pilot Travel Center (truckstop) near where I live. It costs $24 and I bought the 4ft one. The spring is sold separately for like $8.

This is the best pic I have that might help with how it's mounted...if you want me to take a better (closer) pic..just ask! Also..you can see the "magnified" pic by clicking on it in my gallery. You can see the metal plate that comes with the antenna mount just to the left of the "half-moon" indentation. I ran the antenna lead through the door's wiring harness inside the rubber boot over by the hinges. I had to make a wedge out of some plastic to take out some of the angle as the rear door sheet-metal angles forward and thus causes the antenna to lean forward.
If that is not desired than you can mount it as you see Jack's lower down on the cladding..also check out Tonka's (Tonka) setup as his uses the same type of antenna and mount minus the spring:
