Location of Radio Antenna question ?
First of all ,,did the 1983 Chevy Truck come out with a radio antenna located on the cowl in front the windshield passenger side ,,,OR was it within the windshield glass?
If ? The antenna was located in the cowl ..is there a diagram for where exactly to drill a hole for a antenna for my truck as it does not have one

Re: Location of Radio Antenna question ?
'83 was in windshield glass.
The antenna was moved to a fender mounted mast for the 1989-1991 R/V Suburban and Blazer. A person could probably retrofit those parts if interested. K

Re: Location of Radio Antenna question ?
My 84 base model Sierra 2500 had a fender mounted antenna. I had to get a new windshield so got the one with the antenna embedded in it. Safelight said it was cheaper than one without. Go figure. I'm looking for a fender that doesn't have the hole now, to swap out.

Re: Location of Radio Antenna question ?
I'll see if I can find my pics of it in my gallery on my desktop. My truck is currently at the shop getting a "new" engine. I won't have measurements, just a photo.

Re: Location of Radio Antenna question ?
I did a Google search and only saw 67-72 trucks. If there is more, I did not see it. Not sure if 67-72 will work.

Found this one on EBay- parts book says it fits 81-84 trucks for use with a slide in camper
https://www.ebay.com/p/657387253 or https://www.ebay.ca/itm/375958179456 The other kit was part number 997715- guessing this was a fixed mast kit fixed antenna used on 87-81 R/V trucks was 12340276 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/375958179456
