CUCV CB Antenna

[GroundedCLK]

So when i was pulling my M1009 out of the garage the tie down holding the antenna in place slide back. Then causing the antenna to got caught on the roof and snapped it in half. So I was going to replace it but thinking about I would be better off just putting a CB antenna on. So does someone have a complete list of what parts I need to replace it with a standard CB radio antenna and try to maintain the original look?

I used an AB558 base and MS116, 117 & 118 for an antenna. The AB558 takes a standard coax connector, so setup was easy and no permanent modifications were required. While perhaps not perfect, I can send, receive, and listen to the radio with this combo, so it met my needs. Later went back and trimmed a little length off to get my SWR better and love it now. You can find these parts with various vendors on this site or searching the web.
