Factory Antenna cable
 
Can someone please show or tell me how the factory routed the antenna cable on a 66? I removed mine and was trying to reinstall but, believe it or not, I can't find the hole in the cowl. It's not on the right side near the extension, not sure where it is. Any help will be appreciated

my 65 is pas side, slightly behind the fresh air vent and just above it. With the fenders/cowl piece off it's on the seam between the cowl/air vent. Hope that makes sense. I can get a picture if needed.

Here’s the factory diagram for a 1960 installation. Not sure how much (if any) it may have changed by 1966:

My factory antenna looks a little different. The routing of the antenna in the diagram makes perfect sense, however, my truck doesn't have a hole there. It is a factory radio cab, I just didn't pay attention when I pulled the cable out. DB65, a picture may help if you don't mind. Thanks for the help!

Here's a picture of inside and out. The inside looks like a blob of silicon is around the hole but it's actually a rubber grommet. http://i.imgur.com/7yMKE.jpg

Thanks DB, my cab doesn't have a hole there but it's about to!
