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

'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.

Thanks Keith ,,I will be mounting a antenna on the truck and not use the window with a built in antenna ,,maybe some one who reads this can measure where there antenna is mounted on their truck like my square body is with measurements for me to go by to do the same .
