Antenna question.
Right now with my antenna, no matter how I mount it, it angles 20 degrees inward. Does anyone sell a bezel so that the antenna sits perfectly upright? Or do I have to be on the lookout for an NOS piece?
Thanks.

If it is a stock antenna it should be adjustable. There will be a half moon shaped piece inside the cowl that you can rotate to adjust the angle. LockDoc

Re: Antenna question.
Does your SPID have a radio listed? The reason I ask is that pictures in your "progression"/build thread seem show the antenna hole in the cowl too close to the hood. That could indicate that a radio was added later or that the cowl was replaced. I don't think there is enough latitude of adjustment in a factory antenna to get it vertical in that location. It might help to post a close-up picture.

Re: Antenna question.
I'm pretty sure it's the bezel itself. There should be one that's got less of an angle on the bottom, correct?

Re: Antenna question.
Your antenna appears factory correct. The location is not. Here's a picture of mine showing where GM put them.

Re: Antenna question.
I dug up some old photos of my truck, and the antenna's in the same spot, but it's definitely got a different bezel so that it's upright.

Re: Antenna question.
Looks like someone added the aftermarket (or OEM from other vehicle) antenna , then later on it was replaced with original truck antenna, either when painted or because it broke.
