Does anyone have a GM parts book for the 81-88 Cutlass models that can look up a GM part number for me?

I am trying to figure out if the standard fender antenna (non power) is the same between the Cutlass models and the Buick Regals. I pulled 2 Cutlass antenna's today and they both have the nut and male threads integral with the base of the mast.
I pulled one for a Monte Carlo and it had the style I was expecting with female threads on the base of the mast, a separate nut and male threads on the base.

My Buick book only lists ‘76-‘81, and has p/n- 22029436 for the 1980 & 1981 A body. This replaced p/n- 22029243 and was superseded by p/n- 25515446. These had the male thread on the antenna mast. Hope this helps.

I have the 82-87 Buick book and it lists
25516649 and shows 25516650 for 83-84. It shows mast number as 25510879.
I am just curious if any of these as the same as the Cutlass

If he doesn't chime in pm 69hurstolds he always seems to have an answer when it comes to any GM part number questions.

It looks like p/n- 25515446 lists for A & G body Cutlass, but the only Olds that got p/n- 25510879 was the ‘82-‘88 J body.

Correct. For Cutlass (as well as the Olds B, C, and D, and X cars), the 80-88 bright fixed antenna is 22029243, which superseded to 22029436, which superseded to 25515446, and shows to have external threads, i.e., threaded part on the antenna. It appears that pontiac and regal G used the same. As well as Monte Carlo (non-SS). But keep in mind, the spacers are a bit different between models because of the shape of the fender tops.

All my cars have the U75 power antenna, so I hardly ever dabble in fixed antennae. I used to have all that fixed mast setup stuff brand new, but figuring I'd never use it, I sold it quite some time ago. The Cutlass nut, or part the antenna mast threads into, is p/n 10017841, superseded by 22549795 (chrome). If you want one for your Monte SS (or 3rd gen Camaro) or a black one in general, use p/n 22549794.

It sorta doesn't matter which antenna type you have, but whatever your base is, you need the corresponding antenna to match up with it. IIRC, the external threaded version is made right into the antenna mast. If you have a threaded hole in the bezel and a threaded hole in your antenna, you can still use it. Just get a correct size piece of all thread and loctite it into the antenna. BOOM!

Ironically, a single 1983 "G" listing all by itself shows a p/n of 10136718. This is a black antenna with the internal threads like the Monte SS versions. I'm not even going to ask why.

GM is weird AF sometimes. 88hurstolds and I were discussing vacuum line part number tape tags on the 307s, and my 85 442 did not come with a single tape tag on the lines. He sent me pictures of his 85 442 tags. Both cars built in Arlington. Go figure. The 87 has them everywhere. Everything but the plug wires, rotor and cap and the ECM water temp clip are original to the car. SMDH.

You can drive yourself crazy looking at all the fixed mast info for these cars.

This is the 83-87 Regal antenna.

This is one I removed from an 86 Cutlass yesterday

After further review, the call on the field is reversed.

The 80-82 Regal A/G application calls for the male threaded antenna mast 25515446. But apparently the 83-87 Regal uses 10136718. It used to be bright, but now the supersession is black. But it has the internal threads on the mast. I didn't research Montes or GP that deep either. Apologies. See how mixed up this sh*t can get in a hurry?

It's all good! Thank you for your responses.
The irony on all of this is that most of the non turbo Regals I would find in the yards 15-20 years ago would have the fixed mast antenna. No one ever wanted them. Now of course they aren't out there anymore.
