Heres where mine was/is and I was told in another thread it was put there by the dealer. It is registered as a housecar so its a CST that was set up for a camper.

On a radio delete truck that is a real possibility, I've even seen the dealer put the antenna on the drivers side of a few! Sharpie

It was for the camper trucks. It moved the antenae forward to not interfere with the overhang of the sleeper cab of a slide in camper. My uncle had a 1969 camper truck that had the antenae in the fender like that.

Re: CL fender...original hole?

Yeah, I bought a whole clip once and the pass fender is like that. Must have been on a camper. Come to think of it. It had some kind of camper emblems on the fenders as well.
