Radio Antenna Options

[NicksTrix]

i'm looking for a replacement antenna for a project in my shop now. it has the hole in the upper side of the fender, thoughnot the top.
what are you other guys using for your antenna replacements?
i'm not looking to fill the hole. it appears to be factory, though it is on the r/s.
ideas?
thanks

I might have a stock antennae for you. I'm considering putting an electric antennae in mine but it will require a little work to fit it right. If so then the stock one will be an extra.

I'm using JBG's replacement for $10, works pretty good and it fit my stock hole.

I got one at Pep Boys a few yaers ago. It fits the stock hole. It doesn't retract all the way down but has a spring mount on the bottom so it doesn't snap off from those low hanging branches.

Mark,

Which Antenna was that, from PB, that you purchased?

I don't have a part number or anything, but the antenna has three telescoping sections and will shorten to about 18 inches. The bottom mount has a chrome base with a toggle type peice that goes through the hole. A screw in the top tightens the base to the fender and then is coverd when you attache the antenna itself. The antenna screws to the base and has a large spring about 2 inches long with the antenna out the top. I think it was about $15. It has worked good for 5 years or so without loosening or getting broken on the trail.

I used one that was made as a replacement for a late '80s Taurus. The curve of the mount fit well on the Bronco fender. 13.00 at Pep Boys.

Nick, I'm running a Corolla post mount ant on my windshield frame. It's kinda like the trooper one in the tech section.
