Re: Hidden antenna?

I have one of those "hide-away" antennas under the dash of my 69 Camaro and it works great. I shaved the antenna hole so that is what I used. Been thinking about doing it on my 66 C-10 as well.

Re: Hidden antenna?

What also works. 12 gauge house solid copper wire. Just put an s bend in the part that goes into the radio and run the wire where you want. Mine hangs off of the rear view mirror right now as I just wanted to know if it worked or not but I am going to run in under the mat and to the back of the cab up one side. So far the best antenna I have ever not paid for..

S-Bend, 12 gauge house wire? I may try that when the time comes.
