According to the 70-71 Parts Book, this antenna mast was first available on 71 C-Bodies p/n 3513745.
Keep in mind that this was a new part number, for the mast only, and was not listed in any previous parts book before the January 72 revision.
The 70 only Parts Book (May 70) does not show a 31" antenna mast for any of the cars. The only ones available at that time were the 60" & 76.5" telescopic masts and the power antenna.
The 70-71 Parts book only list the 31" antenna mast as being available for the 71 C-Bodies only, and this wasn't until the Jan 72 revision. Neither of the parts books (70 Only or 70-71) list a 31" antenna package, only the mast is mentioned in the Jan 72 edition of the 70-71 parts book. It looks like the only way you could get the 31" mast was to purchase it separately as a replacement for a telescopic antenna. Even then, it was only recommended for the 71 C-Bodies.

The way I remember it in the day was that in 1971 the non telescopic was standard with AM/FM ONLY. All others had the telescopic.

This is correct! That is what I researched when I restored that car, congrats on your Best of Show award Lemon Twist!
Thanks, Mike. You can add another national win to your restoration portfolio.

Is this only for B bodies then? It seems to contradict the info given above about only being suggested for C bodies and Not widely available till 72.

I sold off the trailer this spring so the GTX just prowls the local Detroit area shows. I'm going to run up for the day on Friday in the little SRT-4 so will look you up.
