Good Morning All
Does anyone have a (hopefully working) trunk mount electric antenna for a '68 442, with which they would be willing to part for less than a fortune?

 

will a 65 88 work?

 

I'm not sure. I'll dig in to part numbers, etc...

 

They have different part numbers: 386394 for the '65 88, and 399955 for the '68 442. They look a bit different, if the Assembly manuals are any way to judge. I don't know if they will interchange.

 

'68's & '69's use the same hardware to mount. Converts are different than those with a metal roof. The antenna on a hardtop or sedan is located on the peak of the rear quarter and the convert is on a slightly sloped surface. So you will need the correct bezel and inside tube for your application. The inside tube has a toothed fitting on the top to mate to the underside of the quarter.

 

Thanks for the additional detail, Yellowstatue, much obliged!
