77 antenna access
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 06-Mar-02 AT 01:22 PM (EST)]I've just bought a 77 F100 Ranger but the antenna is broken.
I bought a new antenna, but cannot figure out where/how to access the old one for removal.
Any suggestions?

After the nut is off the assemble witll want to slide down into the hole. Theres a swiveling retainer under the hole attatched to the shaft. If you jiggle it up and down a couple of time it will probably siwng to the removable position. If not poke it with a screw driver till it lines up. Then you can pull the whole thing out and unscrew the cable.

some previous owner of my truck put in this ugly antenna with a spring at the bottom, and it leans back and flops when it hits a branch and is just thoroughly annoying. not to mention it was 3 feet long until I jammed the top down into it. I'm scrapping that in favor of a cleaner looking power one.
