NC WTB - Antenna setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

frednoah · 02-13-2012, 09:22 AM

Hey guys, I'm looking for an antenna setup for my 69.

I swapped out my smoothed (read: slathered in 1/8" of bondo) cowl, and now I'm staring at a hole where the antenna should be.

Not looking for show quality, just something presentable that works. If you have a candidate for me, post a pic, and a price shipped to 28117.

Thanks,
Fred

The spring style was an option, and is a stock style, too. I think what you are seeking is a telescopic antenna. Good luck with your search.

Yep, the telescopic is what I am after. Its the only type I remember seeing on the trucks around here.

Fred,

I bought one of these for my C20 and was very surprised how nice the quality is for a reproduction. Fits perfect, works perfect and looks great....Looks and fits like OEM...a bit pricey but was the only one I found....

That ad is for the AM antenna. They are hollow and break off very easy and the chrome rusts. You want the FM antenna that has a solid stainless shaft. If you don't find one you can PM me & I can send you one...about the same price, though.

Well, it seems to be holding up good for me so far and the truck is parked outside. I was not aware there was a difference...AM vs FM...if it breaks, I'll order one from you Frank.

Thanks for the info...sorry for the hijack...
