The antenna hole has to line up with a hole below it in the cowl. I don't know if it would help or not but I have the factory hole in my fender that I could measure. It's a 56 but I think it's the same since the cowl and doors are the same.
That would be great atleast it will give me a start . Thanks
I googled this line "1955 chevy bel air antenna template pdf" and it came up with one from Danchuck!
Thanks Troy I'll check it out
Here's some pics. The measurement is from the point of the fender.

looks like 5-1/2" from point to center of hole,, then 1-1/8" from top of fender to top of hole,, then the hole is 1" total . Sound about right.. Thanks for the help
Looks to me more like 5 1/4" square with the fender edge and 1 1/16" up (in the pic) from the inboard edge of the fender to the edge of the hole. That would put it at 1 9/16" to the center of the hole. I should have put the tape through the hole instead of so far down at the fender edge. I can take another pic if you want me to.Quote:
