'69 antenna placement

I have a '69 F250 CS that has a factory radio but the antenna was put on a bracket mounted on the fender to clear the camper. I removed that and would like to mount it where it's supposed to be.
Can anyone here provide measurements from the front & bottom of the cowl ? (see pic)
There are no junkyard trucks around here to look at.

I'll try to remember to look when I get home. Have you considered an amplified, plug and play radio antenna so you don't have to make more holes in your truck?

No I haven't looked into those but perhaps I should. It is the original antenna though and I wanted to get it in the right spot. Thanks.
