If it only receives you within 60ft, then something is physically wrong with it. Adding a pre-amp would be like putting an IV in someone with an arterial bleed.

Concidering the age, I doubt you'll have an easy time finding someone to service it either.

eBay at it's finest:
Me: "What exactly is a 900Mhz UHF CB?"
Them: "A very nice CB at 900Mhz speed!"
