Bill, It snapped off about 3 inches up the mast. I was going to make a trip to the local pic and pull tomorrow to see if I could find a match.

Been wanting to replace my 77 F-150 OEM antenna because it's pitted and slightly bent. But cannot find the right OEM tear drop shape replacement. The compressed height is ~ 17" and all the ones offered by NPD, Dennis Carpenter, LMC and MAC's are ~ 22" compressed height, are too tall, even though they say OE replacement. If my memory serves me right, the Bumpside antenna had the longer compressed height. So I'm still looking for an OEM / NOS replacement and if anyone knows of a source, please share it. Thanks

My antenna was missing on my 79 F350 when I bought it. I just tapped the hole/round part in the original mount with a screw tap, so I was able to screw in a replacement antenna that I got from Oriellys for like 15 bucks that had a threaded end on it. Works great now.

1973/75 F100/350 also used a teardrop antenna, but it was different (D3TZ-18813-A) than 1967/72 even though the antenna mast (C6AZ-18A886-A) was the same as 1967/72.
1976/77 used a different antenna (D6TZ-18813-A) with a round mast (C0AZ-18A886-A) that telescoped.
1978/79 F100/350 & Bronco antenna was different (D8TZ-18813-A), the round telescoping mast was the same as 1975/79 Econoline (D5UZ-18A886-A).
In the early 1980's, Ford replaced all the 1967/79 F100/350 antennas with the 1973/78 LTD antenna (D3AZ-18813-A) that did not telescope.
