1972 Antenna Question
Okay, the antenna on my truck is pooched. So I'm wondering if anyone knows if reproductions are available or if I got one of a parts truck and being 40+ tears old would it work well. I guess I'm looking for experience and suggestions.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
Repro's are available, I got one for my wrecker project but can't offer anything on quality as it's still in the sealed pack.
![]() I think I got it a Classicparts.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
I got a replacement from Brothers, I got the one with a solid SS shaft, good quality, looks good on. Would buy it again.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
I bought a telescoping one from LMC. Works great and looks original.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
Depends on where you live. The telescoping ones get used for things other than reception! I had this problem in an area of S Dallas too.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
Ha! I live near Philly (near Camden NJ too) and haven't had that problem! The article was from 1997, so maybe they've moved on to better pipes by now. Then again, I don't tend to leave my truck (or myself) in neighborhoods where crack addicts hang out.

I used latex caulk. The kind you use on a bathtub.

Re: 1972 Antenna Question
I don't frequent the crack addict neighborhoods but they will come out to you. That said, I have also heard the Brother's antenna works well and my store bought one works great as long as I am parked in front of the transmitter.
