I found this in Ford Canada Trucks, maybe he still has them separate?

I fabricated a second A set antenna base for my carrier and at the same time cleaned up and fixed my antenna mount I built over 20 years ago that I made a few mistakes on that are now somewhat corrected. Not perfect but presentable!
It sure helped having a hydraulic press to use this time. I made a few sets of tooling out of angle iron and flat stock to make the bends which worked perfect for me.

Getting them mounted on the carrier sure added to the look. I’ve also made the B set antenna mount and just finishing up the fitting of it to the carrier.

Here’s a dirty job I started. Grinding off years of rust & old paint! My arms & hands can only take so much each day so it’s going to take me awhile to get it ready to prime & paint. Lucky I’m retired and in no rush!

Another piece of the puzzle added to the carrier today. Finished fabricating my B set antenna mounting bracket, mount and cage. The hardest part for me was trying to figure out how to bend a 6 inch diameter ring so I was looking around the shop and the base of the acetylene tank worked perfect. The rest of the pieces were fairly simple to make.
On to the next pieces! Derk

Thanks David. This carrier is definitely going to need a new paint job by the time I’m finished fabricating all my pieces!
