I know it does not answer your exact question but my 70 Cuda has an AM radio, single speaker dash and it came with the telescopic antenna.

To my knowledge, which radio your car was optioned with has nothing to do with what style antenna the car had. It was a build date /assembly plant/ vendor supply issue. I am not sure what the change over date is for each assembly plant.

The January '72 issue of the 1970-'71 Parts Catalog lists:
for manual antenna (non-power)
2889 934 76.5" mast for '70-'71 a, b, c, e-bodies
2889 919 60" mast for '70-'71 a, b, c, e-bodies
3513 745* 31" mast for '71 c-bodies (* = part not listed in any previous parts book)
I do NOT believe the fixed mast is correct on any '70/'71 a, b, or e-body.
Doesn't the '70 Challenger "owner's manual" show recommended lengths of adjustment for best reception - AM vs. FM??
Which issue of Mopar Muscle??

read an article in the latest Mopar Muscle that AM equipped cars came with a telescoping mast antenna and AM/FM cars came with fixed mast antenna's. To be honest, I thought it was reverse. So if a 71 E body that has a single dash speaker and a solid mast antenna, would that be an AM/FM radio ? Then what antenna would a 70 E body come with when equipped with a AM 8track 3 speaker dash and split box ? Thanks-Joe
No solid antennas on A, B or E bodies until '72.
Actually the solid mast antenna was standard on all 71s it was introduced in 71 and was standard on all cars.I worked at a Chry. dealer then - out here in the sticks the solid mast wouldnt pick up radio stations as well as the earlier telescoping antennas . we changed some to the earlier style for customers
