The optimum length was 26 cm or about 10.25 in. However, that was for the antenna attached to the back of the radio. With an antenna on your truck it will surely be different, probably closer to a 1/4 wavelength. Considering that you are also employing some sort of splitter I could only guess at the correct length.

Why not try using a cellular magmount if it's stealth you're interested in? That's what lots of police do these days. Plus you would get about 3 dB gain in the bargain if all you are interested in 800 MHz.
