1965 Restoration Help
I was hoping for some help on removing a couple parts off of my 1965 F100 Camper Special with a 352 V8 and a 3 speed auto.
After going through the drivetrain I am prepping her for the body shop and I have stripped of everything except the antenna and one bed bolt. I have no idea how to get the antenna off and the last bed bolt is turning and I cannot fit a sawzall between the frame rails/ exhaust.
Please share any advice you have on the antenna removal and what to do with that last bed bolt.
Thanks

This is the 1967/72 forum, you need to ask questions in the 1961/66 forum.
SOP when R&R'ing radio antenna:
Reach under the dash, pull lead wire from radio, tie a looong piece of heavy string to it. Remove chrome nut (above the chrome base) from antenna, pull antenna from cowl panel.
When ready to re-install the antenna, tie the string to its lead wire, pull string from inside the cab.
Feeding that antenna lead wire thru the hole in the inner cowl panel without the string is a royal PITA!
