I went on eBay looking for a Ford antenna rebuild kit because my antennas not going up anymore, and saw this:

I always liked the clean look of the Gen2's because it had no antenna. This is one step in that direction. Any thoughts?

Those were big in the 80s.

What's and antenna used for?

yuck! just buy a replacement mast.

Tommy just put it into perspective. I should delete this thread.
