Has anyone got a picture of a stock antenna location?

Has anyone got a picture of a stock antenna location on an 1985? Mine has an aftermarket antenna in it now and I want to make it right. Thanks!

Bob, most had the antenna built into the windshield. Others like my 87 base model has it in the passenger side corner of the wiper cowl. When are you gonna check out that highliner. I got most of the trim back in yesterday. Take care!

I like the windshield antenna best. Because of it's layout, it really pulls in stations that regular antennas can't.

Re: Has anyone got a picture of a stock antenna location?

Factory antennas were mounted on the passenger side fender as Bob's picture relates. I have a 73 that had it and my Crew Cab has it. Both in the same position.

I 'm trying to get a picture to relocate it when I weld up the hole from the one that is on there now. It is wrong and in the wrong place. Bob 's picture is good but dosen't show me what I need.

It will be later today until I can get you a picture of my crew cab, but are you wanting a pic with dimensions on where to locate it?
