Billet Antenna!!!
Hey all..I have been asked a number of times where I got my billet antenna...well...I found a great custom shop today full of accessories, and guess what they have...lots of billet antennas. They sell for $20 each and then you need a stud adapter which runs $2. I bought 4 to take to Dallas this coming weekend in case anyone there wants one. The name of the shop is "AfterShock Customs" 6822 4th St. NW Unit B

Billet cool!!!
My only concern is how long they last on the truck before some low life ripps it.
Let me know if anyone has a way to secure it to their truck.

When you screw in the adapter use just a drop or two of superglue...and do the same when you screw in the antenna. I have had mine since July, and no prob.s reception has not been different (that I have noticed). But the look is so sweet. Mudder I will be bringing four of the five different styles. Glad I could help kick off the billet antenna Roger...how about ALL the Trenz billet products being offered...you know I love the billet!

Cableguy, I can get anything in Billet from Trenz, just like your door sills and the Antennas. Also we will have some cool Billet pedal kits and a Speedometer Trim piece that fits the 97-98 trucks even the V-6 one's with no tach! I just sent a catalog to Steve to load up all the new and exciting Billet pieces for our trucks into the store, it should'nt take long now! Have you ordered the Billet oval rear view mirror, or the Billet Master Cylinder cap cover? those are already in the store! Anyways if anyone is looking for something please email me, I don't get here as often as I like!
Thanks and have fun at the get together!

OK, a few questions..
cableguy, where did you get those steps? Your interior pieces look great! Where did you get them and how do they install? Are the clear lenses you ordered for the lights or the side markers? Truck looks cool by the way!
Roger,
Will the online store be getting any of these (steps, insided trim, etc)?

I got the doorsills from a local custom accessories shop...they have a ton of stuff. The sills come with three studs..I took off the stock sills, drilled three holes that matched the sills stud posiiton and tighten down the nuts...BINGO...snaped the sill back in place.
The clear lenses are for the corners.
