I need to take some pics of my truck. I personally just bought one of the really short (almost like a little "cap") antennas. It was a direct swap, 2 mins, you don't notice it at all, and I still get pretty reasonable reception.

I just did this yesterday after seeing your post. Cost me about $15 for the panel and the bracket.
