1987 R10 Antenna

[remist17]

Can anyone show me photos of the stock 87 antenna. I recently had my truck painted and the painter broke the antenna. I am having a hard time finding one that fits. Right now there is a round hole in the fender a little larger than a quarter. The hole is on the top of the fender.

Its funny I never took much notice of the antenna prior to it being broke.

for those years the stock antenna was actually inside the windshield

For an '87? Mine has the antenna in the windshield.

I think maybe somebody put an 88-up setup on your truck.

At any rate, the base is a small rectangular block with a plastic cover; the mast portion has a hex on the bottom and a small round ball on top.

There should be several million of 'em out there ; we used to use them as pointers in the conference rooms.

Dont mean to hijack this, but I originally had the antenna in the front passenger fender but when I restored the 1984 GMC 3500, my body guy suggested buying a windshield with te antenna in it and thats what I did. Truck has stock AM/FM radio but the reception isnt the best.. Maybe i should check the antenna wire in the back of the radio.

yea I kinda figured the front has different. I picked up a rectangle set up with three screws..... is this sound right?

any place to get the antenna wire extension sections. The antenna i picked up has a short wire(from junkyard).
I need a 3 foot section to go into the cab and to the radio.
