Default 36 ford p/u

Hey i'm new to to Ford Barn
Can anyone tell me if H. Ford put radio antenna on cowl of trucks, if so which side? I've been told by several "experts" that trucks had antenna mounted under running board and never on cowl. Any info or source of info you might have on 36 p/u. i would appreciate very much.

THANKS BE SAFE

Catskinner, whatever you do, don't restore that truck, just try to preserve it like it is. That truck is absolutely too nice to restore!

It was ordered by a Mr. Briggs who was a Ford dealer in or near Sacramento, he kept it for 60 years, his widow sold it to a Kurt Larrecurr in Calastoga,he kept it for 14 years, he sold it to a Richard Armistedii in Templeton, Mass. last Nov. I bought it in April.
