Mounting an antenna on a Ford Super Duty

I have always had a keen interest in two way radios. Having worked in law enforcement and the rail industry I had plenty of exposure to them. Additionally, I have always had a CB in my vehicles. Now I am approaching getting my Ham Radio License, hopefully this fall.
Since we are traveling more I want my radios with me. The CB in my truck (2016 F350) is coupled to a glass mount antenna; adequate but not great. I listen far more than I talk on the CB. If I move to a ham radio I want a GOOD antenna. My problem is finding a good place to mount one on this truck. On my '99 SD I had a good spot on the mirror tubes but the newer trucks have larger, plastic mirror arms that do not accommodate any commercially available mounts.
So, I am seeking info on how you hams mount your antennas on your two vehicles, without drilling holes in the body. I suppose a mag mount could serve but I would rather a more permanent installation.
Thanks for any advice.

Kevin
