Garagejunkie, Nuttsgt has a thread about making a J-pole antenna and also talks about it in "what you did in the garage today thread." I've used J Poles before and they work great for regular radio and also 2 Meter radio. Heres the link: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=294533

Nitro, Cool! I was and still am thinking of converting the Bronco over to EFI, but love carbs too so undecided. I know the advantages of EFI out weighs the Carbs and am leaning towards it.

Outlaw, Good J Pole design. I haven't made one of those in years since I was a HAM. It should pull in those radio station pretty good.
