they (twins) are a pretty special vee shape at the bottom casting , to sit on top of the fin , probably ran out of them . I have a D with them . I saw Dodge / Desoto twins on ebay for 600 (!!) I spent a few weeks a year or two ago on antennas , the stock manual 300 ones are beautifully done high quality . Chromed brass tubing . Anything you can buy today is junk , and further do not sit right especially the eight ball type .Look awful . If you have the broken off mast it looks like it can be shortened and reused with some effort ( usually broken right above mount .. fine young men do this . must be a lot of fun ) . Some of the small after market power are better , I once found one surplus in quantity some years back with a weird electric interface specific to some GM radio , nice , -?clearance thing — cheap . I bought 6 , have used that , had to add a relay etc . You have to do something ... I had two or three broken off stock manual ones —came that way on some 300 . I was trying to find a suitable mast and so a way to fix those , or even repro the nicely shaped custom base that fits FGH fender correctly , and then have a new mast too . The black top trim nut is often split or broken , that could be CNC machined ( at some not insignificant cost) out of black delrin like the cams we made for the heater switch . I bought a number of masts that ? might be adaptable , some ford are pretty close and available , but SS finish instead of chrome ...
The SS part caused a pause ...
A good subject to bang around at repro parts meeting ? I note there is a guy apparently doing well fixing studebaker antennas , advertises in “ Turning Wheels” their club pub. May be another direction — they may be similar to ours. Someone must make a good mast ... but zero call for these now.

Weird Huh? I wondered about that , perhaps when you ordered power due to size it just went to back ? Like noted already? which I think looks great , as do twin antennas on the fins on D . (? what about that ?) However if you upgrade the radio to FM within the F housing ( another story ) I do not think FM likes the long antenna cable . It can be tuned to work on AM but may be a problem on FM . There was a rumor back then that as radios got better in AM ( ours are pretty good) that static from the engine was picked up a lot more with front antennas , probably true . I saw a service bulletin once about jumping around the hood hinge with a copper wire , —- I am not sure when suppressor wires came in too . If you look at old JCW catalogs there are a lot of period devices “ to cut static “ . Corvettes really suffered from this— why all the shielding . related to the right mirror , I have a car wherein the mirror seems on correctly ( same as other side) but the glass will not turn enough clockwise looking down on it to aim it right ? becomes a decoration . May be aftermarket , but looks period(?) but no other holes in fender and both sides match ( relating to where they put them , if dealer ?) Sent from my iPhone not by choice --
