My 1970-1971 parts catalog calls out the following (only B & J parts listed)

The only power antenna callouts are for Chrysler and Imperial body codes

Manual 60" antenna package, 1970-71 B and J              2983171
Adapter and gasket Manual  B                             2983162

Interesting how few differences are listed between 1970 and 1971.  I know the parts catalog is not the most definitive source for this kind of info, but for what its worth there it is.



The 31" mast is listed for 1971 P, D, C body codes only which does seem curious since, while mine is in storage so I can't measure it, I'm positive its less than 60" tall.

My Challenger R/T build date 8-69 had an AM radio and it AND my very first 70 Challenger in '77  each had telescoping Antennas.

Good luck on this one...........

I'd expect all AM radio's to have telescoping. It's only the FM that works best at 31".
Longer isn't better with FM, only AM.

What's B & J? body styles?

B and J were the model identifiers; B = Barracuda, J = Challenger.  Its the first character of the VIN also.

My '71 came with the AM radio in addition to its one-piece antenna mast.
