factory antenna

Is there anything I can do to modify my radio antenna to work better, I get a lot of static every now and then, stations fading in and out, etc. or is there a anything aftermarket that would work.
Its a 2004 F350

In line noise filters. They are supposed to do good work.

That depends on if the antenna is the problem in the first place. You may not necessarily be able to add devices to solve a problem of something missing in the chain.
It could be the connection between the antenna mast and the coax, it could be in the coax itself, or it could be a problem in the radio head unit.

What radio band are these problems occurring? That should begin to narrow down what kind of noise problems you are having.
