Alan..was wondering where you got that antenna...checked my Chevy Duty catalog, and you are right..looks pretty cheap.. I tried to find one on Truck Shop, but their online catalog leaves a lot to be desired...I mounted a spring base antenna on the cowl about 2yrs ago without thinking about opening the hood, but it works pretty well as it just springs back a little when the hood is open...really want to do one likes yours though..love the look
