My 56 has no radio, no antenna... I want ot put in something, but on the outside I want a stock look. Did 56 F-100s have a radio? Where does the antenna go, and what should it look like?

Thanks!

 

The orignal antenna went on the right side just above the luvers on the cowl
The part # for the orignal antenna is B6C-18813-B .Dennis Carpenter has repops available, and comes with a template for installation. their phone # is 704-786-8139. Its a nice part as I have one ready for install.

Ditto, I used DC on my 54 and it was perfect. Even gives you the tilt deminsions. John

 

So, where would the stock radio go? Or was there one? I can see no place in the dash for one, I think I am just going to hang one below the dash, but I can not help wondering what stock would look like.

 

It was a round radio that was installed below the ash tray and to the left of the glove box door in that flat area. If I get a chance I will podst a pic of one.

I would love to see that, sounds interesting!

 

If you want to hide the radio, you can put it in the glove compartment. Good luck, John

 

I was thinking about that. I do keep a lot of junk in the glove box, I would miss that space! I saw a photo of a stock radio, thats a wild looking unit! I do hate to hang junk below the dash, but it is better than cutting holes!

 

How about an overehad console? You can do a small one like the one in my truck, or I have seen some ellaborate units that went all the way across the top of the cab. Good luck, John

 

I looked at it in your gallery, very cool! VERY nice truck!

 

Thanks, she goes to her first show on Saturday. We'll see how she compares to those high-dollar trucks from the Bay Area. John
