Is this a Factory Antenna? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I pulled this from my 72 Custom Camper...57" extended, with a brass ball on top. This thing is a beast!

Looks like the one I have. I would say it's factory.

**RenoKeene** · 08-08-2011, 10:31 AM

Are there different versions of this?..1/2, 3/4, Custom Camper etc.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-08-2011, 01:07 PM

That is a factory one, I just got one from TLL74 (Thanks Tom!). I would like to see one installed, as I believe my truck must have been a radio delete. There is a hole in the cowl for an antenna, but the angle of the bezel on this antenna is too great to mount in that hole. Does anyone have a good pic of the stock location for the antenna?

**RenoKeene** · 08-08-2011, 01:28 PM

I believe I took a pic of this one while it was still on the truck.....
yep, here ya go. 72 Custom Camper

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-08-2011, 04:39 PM

Ah, yep, mine was a radio delete. Guess I need to find a cowl panel now with the stock antenna hole. Thanks RenoKeene

If you can't find one local you can have the one in the pic, it's pretty nice.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-09-2011, 01:28 PM

Any idea what shipping would run to zip code 46562?

I'll try to find out for you, I think I have a box it will fit in.

**RenoKeene** · 08-09-2011, 04:47 PM

Hey Stovebolt, PM me your address and I can get a accurate price...seems to be anywhere from $25 to $75.

Cowl pics for 70Stovebolt....
Has a few scratches, especially where PO had trouble getting the wipers off and has surface flake on the inside. The metal is solid and straight, no dents. Should clean up pretty good. Best of all it's free!
I'll PM you with shipping cost.
