I have a 1950 1 ton panel and am wondering what type of radio antenna came with them. My truck has a hole on the side of cowl passenger side

Here are instructions. I think someone posted a drilling template (one comes with the reproduction antenna sold by most parts vendors).

The side cowl antenna was used on pre 1947 Advance-Design trucks, I think.

So if you look at the template, you will see the diameter of the hole. If you print it out, make sure that the hole on the template is the correct size on the paper. Also,the antenna goes on the driver's side.

Thanks, my panel came from a Texas oil rig service company, so they must have had a two way radio antenna on the right side which would explain the hole on the right
