anybody done an antenna delete mod? im thinking of buying a 6 inch stubbie but i really dont need an antenna because i always use my i-pod anyway so i was wondering if anybodys done it, and nobody sells a kit for our truck that ive found so far.

thanks

 

you can pop out the plastic base, which leaves a hole. if you really want to, you can sand down the area, weld in a cut piece of metal to make it flush, and prime/paint/cc

if not, just stick with the shorty

 

yeah, i wish they was an easier alternative , i never use the radio, always ipod

They call this an antenna delete, but it looks like a really, really short antenna. Maybe an option?

 

Would look good in black.

 

Why not just unscrew the OEM one and be done with it ?

 

I have a one inch little aluminum piece in mine, just to fill the threaded hole. I think it looks great

 

but would that fit our f150's?

 

thats what i did, because i never use the radio just ipod

 

Great question, dont really know that answer, sorry

 

yes pretty much all fords have the same threads

 

You could remove the ant. And remount at the top of the windshield and right above the headliner, so it is still the correct length to receive the right wavelenth frequencies and then just weld a plug and paint. IMO the ant. is a good judge if my roof is gonna hit inside the parking garage at school.

 

And all F-series trucks have had the same threads since 1978...

 

I shaved my antenna on my truck

 

I just took the antenna off of my truck. I had a 12" stubbie but if I was off roading I would always bend it. So of it goes. I have XM and my iPod so the good ole fm is no longer needed.
