antenna mount ??

Hello everyone, I bought a 79 truck from Calif. that was a maintenance vehicle and it does not have a antenna hole above the right fender well I thought. Someone had welded up the hole and filled it in with putty but I'm not for sure if that is where it goes. So does anyone have any close up pictures of there antenna mounts so I can get a idea exactly where it goes.

Thanks

AWESOME Ranger 429, that is exactly what I needed. Do you know where I can get a factory antenna with base?

A power antenna would require quite a bit of mod work to the cowl to allow it to retract.

Watch ebay for factory antennas. My antenna shown is a factory AM/FM/CB antenna, no longer available.
