First, thanks for the measurements (and orders)! We are making it for you guys, so if you say full scale we'll just have to do it. My opinion would be different, though.

I think you are much more likely to notice the overhang than the small % of scaling. If we size it right then it will look like it was made for the truck instead of adapted to it.

We are at 41 orders; the time is neigh!

I think Kellen knows what he's talking about. I vote to scale it to the extent necessary to make a perfect fit. And if there's an official count, I bought 2.

Full scale or not it still looks bad ass!! And maybe do it in between full scale and scaled down haha and I might be ordering another one for the wife's fiesta or the father in laws raptor lol just to get it closer to 50!!!

Also te bigger it is te better!! "That's what she said" haha but would it get better reception with it a tad bit larger

Go exact scale! Go exact scale!! Go exact scale!!!!

Since it's barely larger than the base and not really noticeable so my vote is for full scale lol

 

[Kellen@Craven]

The difference in size should be pretty minimal if we scale it to that base, the difference certainly will not affect the reception.

I wouldn't notice either. Kellen make it so you will be proud it will hold your name when we are asked where we got that bad ass antenna. if anyone looking at mine notices scale or overhang I'll kick them in the nuts and say I can't see shit that small.

 

[Kellen@Craven]

My math isn't very good, but it seems like the scaling should take it from 5.45 in tall to 5.25. Does that sounds right to you guys? be comforted that I do not design this stuff?

94% of actual size?

Make it look good on the truck is all I care about. I don't want it to hang over too far and look cheap.

 

[BIRDMAN]

make it so it doesn't overhang the base. being smaller than an actual 50 cal will be far less noticeable than even the slightest overhang.

Just put my order in.
