Antenna location
Hello folks,
I have a 65 f250, PO has 3 antennas one on the roof and one on each upper cab corners. I hate where they are I'd like to eliminate a least two and either change one to a thinner cleaner style or move it also. Now, it;s a work truck but I'd like it to look nice. I see that they have power antenna for $30 or should I go with a standard pepboy's mast style. Secondly where does it go? Last should I be "slick" and hide it some where are good locations??? I would just hide it in the roof, however I do like listening to talk radio AM. The vehicle did not come with a radio, I have mounted on the roof. I did try just laying the antenna up there but it looks like it needs to be grounded.
thanks for your help.

Right front cowl panel was the original antenna placement for 1961/66 F Series trucks. It was also the place the 1967/79 antennas were located. If the antenna is on the left side, the radio was not installed by Ford or a Ford dealer.

Thanks ND, this truck never had a radio. I cannot cut up a perfectly good dash, but I don't mind poking a hole in the cowl. Is there a dimple or does any body have a pic?
