I have heard about the chicken wire in the roof, but it would have to be insulated from metal grounding points of the roof supports, otherwise you would not get any signal pick-up. If you already have a headliner, that might be an issue, but it would be hidden and out of sight.

You could also use a CB whip antenna clamp-mounted on the rear bumper if you don't mind it being visible. A clamp mount can be easily removed. That would pick up both AM and FM on just about any radio with no problem.
