Radio antenna thread size/type

[enforcer17]

Anyone know the thread size/type for the fender mounted AM/FM radio antenna whip?

Bought a really nice billet shorty antenna for my F-250 and was hoping they could make one for my SRT-10.

Heading out to Lowes/Home Depot tonight to see what it is, but if someone knows I would appreciate saving me the trip.

If anyone needs this info, it is #8/32 thread size.

So did you get one? Did it cut down on the FM stations?

I'm waiting to hear back from the eBay seller if he can make one for my SRT-10.

I have one on my F-250 and compared to the full mast, it did lose some station pull in capability, but still acceptable. Since I use my satellite radio a majority of the time, it is not a big deal for me. I mostly use the AM/FM radio for my cell phone FM transmitter so I can listen to music or as a handsfree device.

When I hear back from the seller on eBay I'll post info if he can make one for our trucks.

Correction, the thread is #10/32.

CFM (WWW.C-F-M.COM) sent me one and I installed it on my SRT-10, looks and fits great! Will post pics later.

I ordered a short black antenna for my truck from Avondale...it fit, but yes, reception is not as good, distant transmitters cut in and out...FM reception really needs a 30 inch antenna...

Bigger is better

Bigger is better

I have heard that...but, regretfully, I have not been able to test the hypothesis

I closed/shaved the antenne hole in the fender and kept the antenna which now runs aside the chassis arm (where the spare battery box is bolted onto)

great reception even greater looks:rock:

Could you post some under the hood pics? (Where the antenna is mounted)

Thanks
