Re: Needs new antenna

I'm guessing a PO had a full size camper with a berth over the cab, hence the side antenna mount. Alternatively, a Ladder/Pipe Rack [''Headache Rack.''] might also conflict with the usual Passenger Side Cowl mount.

Does Crutchfield still sell old school AM/FM antennas? Truck stops often have a lot of Outdated comm gear, like CB accessories.

OK. I just checked their online catalog. They sell some hidden antennas. I won't recommend them. They do have a 16'' Marine antenna [Rubber Duckie style] p/n: 070MANT16B....$24.99. Includes a 54'' coax cable.

But then a 16'' Rubber Duckie might not even clear over the hood, and deflect signal from the driver's side. IDK.
