OEM VINTAGE 1972-1976 LINCOLN MARK IV POWER ANTENNA (((WORKING)))
I'm wondering what vendor they sourced their antennas from... Maybe there's some crossover between brands.

Glad to see you back Stan!
Putting a Lincoln antenna in a Chrysler? I don't think it will go up. LOL! It appears to need a lot of fabrication to get it to work.
I would contact the derby boys to get an OEM antenna. Sorry, it's the only alternative for a Formal.

It wouldn't surprise me if Ford and Chrysler used the same supplier. If you really look at the pics on Ebay, you'll see the top looks similar to the Chrysler. The bottom mount is the same.

Obviously the FoMoCo and Mopar motors are from the same vendor.
I'm definitely investigating it more.

Big John.. What other Chrysler parts can you put your hands on? I'm looking for a rocker panel trim piece for my 75 NYB.
I don't have anything for a 75 NYB.

I'm betting that all he has to do is do a plug n play motor swap.
I'm thinking it's more than just the motor. I think the similarity on top is where the magic is.
I have the one for Stan packed up or I would take the same picture. It might even come down to unscrewing the bezel and putting the Chrysler one on. If not that, the top section is mounted with 3 screws just as the Chrysler one is. The top seal is identical as is the bottom mount. This may be a real easy swap.
Here's one from a 66 Lincoln. Again... maybe swap the top section. If the length is off, you might have to screw around with the lower bracket.
