Re: Radio antenna delete
Just cut a circle out of a piece of sheet metal and weld it in there. If you are looking for temporary, you can probably find a plug at a hardware store to fit it. I haven't filled mine in yet, but IIRC the hole in mine was about the size as a 1/2" conduit knockout in an electrical panel. I'll probably come across several while I'm building our house, grind it down if it's a little to big, and weld it in there.

Re: Radio antenna delete
If your truck is already painted... I think a plug would look cheesy... just buy a new antenna. I don't quite get why you wouldn't want to put another one on?
