I am still plodding away at this project. Instead of focusing on the headend I am working the backend.
I used a Group29 deep cycle battery in a Marine Battery Box. Inside I placed an APU2 with Atheros Wifi and Ublox GPS module.
Using SATADOM with 90degree adapter. I have a 2TB mSATA for possible mobile NAS usage.
Using gpsd and gpxloggerd for GPS and dnsmasq and hostap on the wifi card.
Here is the antenna I just received:

I really did not want cellular antennas but for the price I had to buy it. Will mount this on a 21" long SS pipe nipple with flanges mounted to Truck Toolbox to avoid drilling into the chassis.
Battery box/APU2 located under Truck Toolbox in bed..
The stainless pipe will be a "Mast" in nautical terms. It might house more than just an antenna...

LTMG501 (2x LTE, 2x WiFi, GNSS)
LTMG501 (2x LTE, 2x WiFi, GNSS) WiFi MIMO Antenna is ideal for fleet management systems that combines GNSS, a broadband LTE MIMO modem & a WiFi MIMO modem.
