Well in my F-350 I run a uniden PC76 and love it, been peaked and tuned to modulate at 14w. I run a set of twin tuneable 4' firesticks but i only actually use 1 (better range). In my big truck I run a president hr2510 and once i figured out how to work the contraption is does good, run the same antenna set up as on my pickup. The president don't receive very well but i have hear rumors that the cousin to the hr2510 sold as a realistic by radio shack is much better on the reception side. haven't used the uppers or lowers on it since you just don't get much trafic on them, have played with the HAM side a few times and that's kinda cool when your stuck in the middle of BFE at a truck stop.
