Another 1978 Pace Car Antenna Problem
Friends,
I'm new, but it only took about 5 minutes to learn that finding a power antenna replacement for a 1978 Pace Car is quite a challenge. I'm not sure if i should say "fortunately" or "unfortunately," but my '78 has an AM/FM/CB radio, so finding a power antenna w/ CB feels like trying to find Jimmy Hoffa's gravesight.
For me, the issue is that the mast broke near the top. The motor still works, and I have the remaining mast sections, as well as the cap. If anyone has any advice on where or how to find a replacement, I would be most grateful!
Thanks very much!
