Id like to replace my am/fm radion antenna on my Interstate.  Where do you purchase the shorty style antennas?

I've seen them around, Wally world, Autozone..etc. Was thinking of doing the same thing. Let us know if you like the mod.

Took a pair of side-cutters to mine. Still picks up 'bout the same. Do wish there was something out there to improve reception though?

I have had 2 of the autozone ones. The short black metal one worked great, but worked itself loose, the black all rubber one did not pickup good here in the sticks. Found a guy with an oem one at a good price and it picks up the same as the short black metal one from autozone did.

i just went to auto zone.  they have a small number of antennas to choose from.  I bought the short black one that extends just a little.  I am in the chicago area so reception judgement is to be determined.  At this point, it works as well as OEM.  I suspect it will hold up to OEM standards.  It was 14 dollars.
