1986F150Six Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Gary, look at the included instructions as they show proper placement of the antenna, if being added. This might be useful for someone. https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-81-82-83-84-85-86-Ford-Bronco-F-150-F-250-F-350-NOS-OEM-Radio-Antenna-Kit/124065190017?hash=item1ce2dc9081:g:eewAAOSwzYteMeBZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Interesting! I've inserted them here so they are captured, then saved them to OneDrive/Ford Trucks/Website/Electrical/Radios as Antenna Layout Instructions 1 and 2. And, I've added a note in the Forum & Website Upgrades spreadsheet to add them to a page. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Could there really be somebody out there willing to pay $100 for an antenna assembly? Geez. There are a lot of things in this world that I will easily blow $100 bucks on, but one of those antennas wouldn't be one of them. For the longest time I was going to install one of the Bricknose cowl panels to get the smaller perforated holes, since I was having the truck painted anyway. That plan ended abruptly one day at the junkyard when I realized that I was probably never going to find one without and antenna hole. Since my '84 is a radio delete truck, it never did have an antenna (or a hole for one) and I had no intention of ever putting an antenna in it. I think by the time the Bricknose arrived, in the odd chance somebody bought a radio delete model, it still had the antenna hole, but with a plug in it? Would have been a keen engineering /production upgrade since the Bullnose required two different cowl panels (actually, three I believe when you factor in the one that had the shorter/fewer slots).
