WOW you have great taste! I'd lose the rainguards, and make an L-bracket for your antenna and run it down the inside of the fender under the hood, that would clean it up.

Other than that you've done great! I like the no fender flare look!

Good call, that is exactly what I thought when I looked at the pic. Truck is lookin awesome otherwise.


Supadaddy: did the fender flares leave scuff marks where their edges were against the paint on the fenders and sides of the bed? Seems like there would be some rubbage goin on before you removed em.

went out and took some pics for you. The stock antenna is just screwed in there, with a hole in the cowl end piece, at least thats how my yr model is.

There is a part number for a end piece that doesnt have the hole, but I never bothered getting it, I guess I should. That would eliminate anyone ever knowing it was there.

You just basically make a L bracket to reroute the antenna down on top of the fender. I still get real good reception. and it is not real noticible when the hood is up either. That bracket is like 3 years old so its rusty lol. I really need to get that end cap without the hole haha. The part number for it can be looked up on gmfullsize
