Re: 86 chevy crew cab 12 valve swap

Yes I am still alive!! I am starting to work on my interior stuff again. I wanted to find some kind of an antenna to put on top of the pickup that would work for am/fm/xm and be in one unit. Did a little digging and found out that my 08 Acadia has just such an antenna on it so I went to the junk yard and got one from an 08 acadia. It actually has 3 coax cables plus a 12 volt wire going to it. One coax is for am/fm and the 12 volt wire is in the connector with it, guessing it to have a powered booster in it. One coax is for Onstar and the third coax is for xm. I got a four foot am/fm coax cable from the local stereo place and the guy just cut, strip the ends and solder them together and make sure the inside wire doesnt touch the braided wiring on the outside. Got that one hooked up, will have to see if it works now. I am going to mount it near the back of the roof.
