I have seen two or three on Ebay over say the last five years. Kind of scarce. However, that is just my limited view.

B7C-18813-A .. Antenna Assy / Obsolete

1957/60 F100/1100.

NOS PARTS SOURCE in Olathe KS has 1 = 913-220-5746.

NOS PARTS LTD in Waxahachie TX has 2 = 972-937-2201.

ANTIQUE AUTO SUPPLY in Arlington TX has 7 = 817-275-2381.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 10 = 606-787-5293.

Make sure it's B7C-18813-A // B7C-18813-B is for a C Series Tilt Cab.

I actually bought the antenna from NOS Parts, but the antenna does not fit the curvature of the panel where it suppose to be. Can anyone show me a picture of the base of the antenna and the curvature of the base with the truck?

If the antenna base does not fit, you either bought the wrong antenna or were sold the wrong antenna.

B7C-18813-A .. Antenna 1957/60 all EXCEPT C Series Tilt Cabs.

B7C-18813-B .. Antenna-1957/60 C Series Tilt Cabs ONLY.

I typed a Caveat Emptor inre to B7C-18813-B in post 3.

AFAIK, there is no such business as NOS Ford.

There's no picture of the antenna in the parts catalog.

This is where mine is, but I have no idea if its original. My dad put a plate over the center of the dash & there is an 8-track player in there now.

More info.... I just got a reply back from my sister. She said she drove the truck as a teenager, & would remember a radio. She does not think it had one.
