You could use this concept to install any antenna, CB, GMRS or HAM. I already have Ham and GMRS radios and antenna installed but needed to have CB for a 4000 mi. road trip.
No place to put a mag mount but that's what I had available, you can see my solution in the photo. My SWR on the CB band was 1.2 which is very good for this installation. The next few days I'll test the CB and see how it work in real life.
Yes I know its partially blocking the stop light. One option is to create a web shaped piece and move the mounting slightly to one side.

This link look pretty good. Thinging about one for these for my F-150. Could use it on the window.

GMRS stealth antenna could be mounted inside of Bronco, no need for an outside mount.

Where did you install your radio?

Originally I had a very small form factor CB that I just laid in the recess in front of shifter. I have since decided to order a CB that has all controls in the mic and a small box to wedge in under the drivers seat. I rarely use CB but am going on a 4000 mi trip and decided it would be handy on the interstate.
