Has anyone had good results with an alternate location for the radio antenna? I just put new cowl panels on my 61 half ton Apache and I don't want to drill a hole in them to mount the antenna. I have the stock am radio in my truck, so if you can offer any help or suggestions,I am all ears!!!Thanks,Hobert

I know street rodders use a "invisble" antenna that looks like a wand, that you can mount anywhere you want, and still get awesome reception.

I've hered people mount them under the dash, or even under the front seat.

-

as Chevyboy stated there are different ones.

Search around - I've read reviews or seen different types mentioned on auto tv shows - some of them are like long wires that you can route all over and keep hidden.

you might want to do a search in the audio forum on the chevytalk.com page.

good luck,
