What does the antenna and base look like on a 1975 Dodge Pickup? I have some funky aftermarket one on my truck and want to get an original one.

The base is part number 2889925 and from my research is used on all 72-80 trucks. The mast is a solid 32" with a ball tip.

I found an antenna from a Moparts member, thank you! I haven't really looked that close yet but what is the best (easiest) way to access the antenna to remove and install a replacement?

Below the hood hinge to the rear of the engine compartment. I used a wire wrapped around a bolt screwed into the base and lowered it down through. Hooked wire to the restored assembly and pulled it up into the hole.

I just bought a NOS one off ebay. I had my steel corrugated Hurricane Shutters out of my garage doing some cleaning. They were leaned up against my house which I thought was no problem. A gust of wind came along and spread them apart, knocking two of them into my truck. One of them broke my antenna mast off right at the base frown

Fortunately, no other damage though.


Facts are stubborn things.

Wow, that must have been flying pretty good to snap off a stainless mast. Your lucky that was the only damage.

The one I bought from a Moparts member just arrived. This thing looks like almost new! All parts there and now just have to get it put on the truck!

Yes it will be! Here is the ugly black rubber one that's on it now. I'll put the new one on soon!

They are pretty tall and heavy steel and caught it just right.

MuscleMopars: Always best to get from a member! Wish I could have.

Well, I know it's not a very big deal but it's one more thing done on the truck to improve it. Got the new antenna installed today!
