Stubby Antenna - Help us out and get $5 off

CravenSpeed is a new vendor on F150online and I have stuff to catch up on. We made a custom antenna for a guy with a Raptor and found out that a lot of of Raptor owners liked it. I know that the same part will look good on a lot of other F series, but I don't have a bunch of trucks to try them out on. That is where you come in...



If you check the link on that image you'll see that the antenna can work with both a 1/4-20 and a 10-24 thread. Either insert sticks out of the base about 3/4in. The base is .45in across.

The first person to post the model of their F-series (or other Ford) and confirm that the stock antenna fits these parameters will get a $5 coupon code they can use for a Stubby or Bullett Antenna

To qualify: Post the model and year of your vehicle. Then thread pitch and thread length, and the width of the base on the antenna. Only the first to post for each model/year will get the reward.

Thanks!

I run a 14" shorty on mine and I haven't lost any signal quality/strength.

14" and 2" is a considerable difference and no way it will allow me to keep full reception. I usually just cut mine even with the roof on all my vehicles.

Thanks for checking. We manufacture our products in Portland, OR. The antenna is cut out of 6061 aluminum, and while there is a risk of bad reception, most trucks don't have any problems.

Nice Llama. True. A lot of people don't care too much about radio these days.

I dont like the 2" ones. If your going that short might as well shave it. But a 10-14" would be better looking I think. Maybe even rubber one the size of the Honda S2K antenna that i swapped onto my Scion tC.
