Factory Antenna question

[tj 413]

According to the LMC website these parts are for an 88-91 antenna setup. The part I need is not available as indicated by it being faded out. Does anyone know the name of the part? Antenna base? Want to be able to identify it to K5 parts sellers as I search for one.

Yeah, “antenna base” is what I’d call it.

Check with @kennyw for one.

Do you already have a hole in the fender you're trying to match?

If you don't mind a reproduction, Classic Industries and Brothers have a few styles to choose from. https://www.classicindustries.com/shop/1990/chevrolet/all-models/parts/?q=Antenna. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...1390095293509&utm_content=GSAPI+5e67ef8d558f1

From the factory, there were 3 or 4 options, including the windshield antenna. There was a power retracting one, called "camper" for some reason and also an option for trucks with AM/FM/CB.

You might try searching for "mount" and "cable" as well.

Correct, that is what is in there now. I thought just replacing the mast would resolve the issue, but I didn't realize the threaded piece was broken so I am unable to screw on the new mast I bought. There are enough parts trucks out there I should be able to find that " antenna base". Not that I would be upset if I couldn't get my $11.95 back from LMC for the mast, lol
