By any chance do you know what is the original antenna for the GMC.
We still have our original CB-& Radio which works but the antenna is in
poor shape. What has happened is that the wire just pushes in the bottom of
antenna and there is no way to attach it tight poor contact.If it was on the
roof originally then it has been moved and attached to the side mirror. Is
there something we should know in regards to #'s that we need to know to
purchase something else to take it's place?
