Antenna Replacement..?

The radio antenna that came with my '84 truck is not the correct antenna (bought the truck used). It can't be properly tightened down on the truck, so it wobbles a little bit.
Can anyone suggest where to get a proper replacement? Either an OME - type collapsible, or perhaps a flexible rubber one?

Thanks..!

Best place for an OEM is a dealer they sell for about 50-70 bucks give or take.
There are several good yota yards near you that may be able to help. or try a search through our classified section someone certainly has one for your truck.

I bought a new one for my 85 4Runner from the dealer a year or so ago. I think it was like $30. You need to remove the plastic shield on the inside of the front wheelwell to install it but it's pretty easy to change.

After reading 4Crawler's post below I thought I would add this: My OME antenna was not electric (Deluxe model 4Runner) and doesn't collapse. It is metal and fairly flexible but fixed in place.

A manual antenna assy is only about $30 or so.

Mytruck: call me at 800-782-0682 and I can get you that antenna new from Toyota for a discounted price.
