Default ‘63 antenna mast

The mast broke off the antenna base on the fender. Nut and everything else is still good.
Question is do other years and models use the same mast? I’m not finding anything reasonable on the internet specific to ‘63, so if other masts are the same I could probably find something.
Thanks!

Does your mast have a threaded end so it can unscrew from the base? That's what is used on my Bonnevlle. Acccording to my 1961 parts book it is "part #520124, group 9.647, Antenna assembly - manual (57" long)". I cross referenced that number to the PY online parts database, and it says that mast fits all Pontiacs from 1955 through 1964, so hopefully that works for you.

Yes, it’s threaded, and tightens with a jam nut. Thanks, that’s good news.

I just ordered one from Ames. The cheapest ones I found looked just that-cheap! By the time I factor in shipping, the middle of the road quality one from Ames wasn’t a bad deal. Thanks Stuart
