I am looking for a replacement antenna for my 65. The prior owner removed it for a sleeker look and put a rubber grommet in it which is fine but I am wanting to have the factory antenna look. Was wondering what the difference in these are besides price.
I would not consider the first one, it appears to be an “el cheapo“ universal one. Those usually fit like crap, not sealing well. The other two are repops that should at least fit, as they were designed for the specific vehicle, though they won’t be as well made as the original ( poor chrome, gasket materials, etc.) It’s likely , as with other repopped parts, that all vendors are sourcing these from the same place.
Next question is do you install from the top. I opened the hood and I don't see anyway to get to bottom side of antenna. Then where do you run the cable to connect to the back of radio through?
