Can anyone advise on the proper routing for antenna wire to the interior of the car from the right passenger side. I failed to document where the wire came in from!! Thanks.

My stock 62 B Cab has the antenna on the drivers side, sorry can’t help.

Did coupes have it on the pass side?

The hole for the coax cable is about 2” forward of the smaller hole for the dome light door switch wire.

Great, I’ll check it out when I’m near the car next. Snow will be flying this week in NEO. This radio antenna is mounted on the right side of the car. It is my understanding that it was dealer/owner preference as to location.

As I think the pics show the antenna wire goes from the bottom of the spring loaded antenna, through the body (assume a grommet), under the carpet up to under the dash to the radio.

Ohhhh! If I’m interpreting your pics correctly the coax is going into the frunk then into the cabin. Is that right?

The black wire next to the hood pull/lock in the third pic is the antenna wire.

It helps to view the images on my computer! I'm still not seeing exactly where the coax enters the car. But these help immensely.
