AM Antenna on 1969 C10

Morning all. Been awhile since I made a post on here. Life and a move took over. Went and got the '69 registered again yesterday so back at it. What was the radio antenna on a base '69 short bed? Telescoping for AM? Mine has a telescoping one with a spring base. Time for a change back to stock.
Thanks for your help.

Original antenna on my 1970 Blazer with factory installed RPO U63 AM radio was a fixed base, with telescoping mast.

Same antenna setup on my 1970 C/10 with the factory U63 AM radio.

I used this one.. It's not an exact duplicate of the original, but I chose it because after mounting, the mast is removeable.. Quite a bit cheaper than the Classic Industries original reproduction antenna.
