I poop in the furnace.
Is that the factory antenna wire? Looks very odd for a ford.

Anywhoozle, try crutchfield.com. they have everything like that and you can look up the parts by vehicle.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Did you try LMC truck? Might be a "junk yard only" part. Or you may have to use a universal antenna by Dorman or somebody like that.

The antenna mast is definitely not factory but the base look original but I'm not 100% sure

LMC truck have antenna but they don't have photo so I can't tell if it's like mine

I guess my only choice is to go buy a full antenna kit...

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I don't know what was that but it felt like a insult or a way to make fun of me.
No... He’s just a little strange. Don’t let it bother you, he means no harm and is helpful at least 75% of the time.

there are no insults here, however, some posts may be little harder to understand than others.
(that is seldom done by accident)

pull up a chair and join the mostly family friendly banter.

I don't believe that part was intended to come apart like that. :shok:

You'll need the whole metal bottom piece that mounts into the cowl (has the mounting flange on it). Should be very easy to to score a good one at a junkyard if you strike out elsewhere. Should be the same (or at least similar) on any '89-'11 ('83-'11?) Ranger, Bronco II, or '91-'01 Explorer (probably others too, though I recall F-series antennas have the flange at a slightly different angle).

Yes I went back and picked the antenna in the trash, the part with the pin was part of the antenna base I unscrewed the rusty antenna with a vice grip and a pair of pliers, ordered a new one on ebay.
