I have a 49 Chevy 1-ton, My radio was done mostly by Fred. Thanks again!! And my radio worked but would pick only pick up one or two stations along with a loud hum. I just didn't use the radio. Then about a year ago I purchased the original type reproduction antenna for about 75.00 The radio now works perfect. The original reproduction antenna is very good quality, Fits perfect, And must be 5' long! Terry PS. I think I bought it from Jim Carter or Classic trucks.
