My first thoughts were frenched antenna, but its hard to say, in the second picture it looks like the inside of the driver side door jam and the second pipe throws it all out.

BUGA'd if I know.

The pics are in the gallery section here, i can't remember whose gallery, but when it pops up again on the right i will find out. Hopefully the guy who owns the pic will see this and end the torture.

Yea, Jeffs van is one of those vans you need to take a second look at, has a lot of work done on it, but in such a way, it dosen't look over done or to ratical.

Gidday George yep its a frenched in cb areial. Was pondering how to make a cb aerial look good on a cf, cos lets face it most cb aerial mounts look tacky, slapped on or just plain ugly (in a custom sense). So while my mate Wayne was over from the coast for the weekend to weld on the new rear roll pan and frenched in license plate box, I asked him if it was possible to weld in a piece of tube in the LH B pillar to partially fill the hole left by the now removed ugly mains socket. I asked if it could be half in (frenched) and half out, he said he had a better idea, "tapered". I didnt understand what he meant the way he described it but he said if I didnt like it then we could still do it the way I suggested. So I thought what the hell, later that night half pissed we had the tube welded in then Wayne drew the cut line on the tube and then I got it. So thats the story of how my cb aerial became so, this is just one of the quirks about my van.

Don't worry George, you are not the first to be confused by the photos, I have watched many people at shows look at the photos then start to look around the van for it, some find it, some don't and some ask.

I am humbled by all your kind appreciative comments about my van, makes it all more worthwhile building it, not only for me and my family but also for all you beddy fans, thanks. Oh and I've just uploaded some pics of the aerial finished for you george, in my posts album because I cant remember how to add pics to posts.

Cheers Jeff
