Odd place for the antenna - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is this odd or was it a option for the CST trucks. Cab, cowl, and fenders came from 69 CST truck. California title says hscr so it must have been some kind of camper special but had no emblems.

I think it was added by a PO, or maybe the dealer. I really don't think it's factory.

Its not as bad as where one of the PO's of my beater truck put the antenna!

My thoughts were that was a better place if you had a cab-over camper for reception. I'd say an addition after putting a camper on.

cowl has not been welded so if added the custom air cab would have come without a radio. This cab had air and gages with tach so I doubt it came without a radio. someone painted over the spid so I cant go by that. I guess they could have changed the cowl and moved the antenna when they repainted the truck.

It appears to be a retractable antenna, is it?

I put the retractable in when I rebuilt the truck There was a regular antenna there when I bought the truck. I got the truck from the original owners son. He does not know anything about it except that his dad bought it new.
