Retractable antenna mast
Does anyone know the GM part number of the retractable or telescoping radio antenna masts which were factory installed on 1970 and 1971 Corvettes? I believe they are similar but not the same as the AM radio antenna masts installed on the 1969 Camaros and Firebirds.
Thanks

The antenna is relatively rare, but some 1970 and 1971 corvettes were assembled with manual telescoping radio antennas similar to the non-power am radio antennas on camaros and firebirds. I read an earlier discussion which had good pics of the antennas.

Seems like it was one of those things where they ran out of stock ones so used whatever they could lay their hands on at the time so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a Corvette part number

Very interested to know if there is a part # as well... I "made" my '69 a radio delete and don't know what to do with the antenna now.
The '69 Assembly Manual (Page 438) states "Set antenna mast at a height of 31.00 +/- 1.00 inches" for peaking the antenna trimmer, meaning it was adjustable?
And Page 446 shows a two piece antenna?
No part numbers though
