My 58 was a typical truck with no radio originaly but I have found a perfect condition factory radio and speaker (with very good condition original paint). All I need is the antenna. Unfortunatly the fender does not have a hole in it. Can anyone help me with the factory location for this puppy? Waiting nerviously with a drill.

on the front passanger fender, 10" from the top rear corner, and 1 1/2 inches from the hood/fender seem. (almost lines up with the rear of the hood when closed).

Hope this helps

if you have any other questions, email me @ [email protected] i.e. speaker hole or anything else

Brian, thanks for the help! I will be e-mailing you as soon as I get back from a short trip (about 3 days)with needed help determining the factory location for a stock passenger side view mirror. Also what type of truck(s) do you own. I already have installed the factory speaker and today the rear view mirror. Pretty cool! Just plugging along, Greg.

Don't know about the late 50s but I noticed in my early 50s Factory Manual a couple of days ago, there was a dimentioned detail showing the exact location on the panel truck rear taillights. Maybe someone could look in a late 50s manual and see if there is the same type detial for the antenna hole size and location.
Good Luck
