You can make a test antenna with a four foot piece of hookup wire. Bare about 1/4" and plug that into the middle hole in the antenna socket.

What model of radio and truck are you working with?

Trucks in the shop so it could be a couple of weeks before I can answer that. It's a 1960 suburban with a 61 radio, was that Delco stock?

GM would have had a radio for that truck for sure. Someone familiar with it can answer the bracket question.
