2-door A/G bodies and El Caminos use the same rake angle for the windshield. Sedans and wagons use a different one. The early ones often had the radio antenna built into them while the later ones had the antenna in the fender. Either style will physically fit. Grab a windhield antenna cable from the junkyard - any so-equipped GM 70s to 81 will have one.
