Default 78 radio

I am planning on installing a am/fm and Cb/8trac in my vette. I know this is going back in technology but it is what I want to do. My question is will it use the same ant. or will I have to get another one?
You guys are awesome and I am betting on how long it takes for someone to give me an answer. :)

with the cb, i'm pretty sure you need another antenna. the am/fm uses the same as what you already had of course.

It will take a special antenna and switch box that the cable connects into. If you look at the power antennas they will state with or WO CB option. A CB power antenna will run you about 150.00. You will see them listed for around 119.00 but usally have a mark up by the time you call. A number of people here have the option as I do. I will be installing mine back when the car is finished at the paint shop. I do not have the 8 track though, just the am/fm/cb
