Replacing windshield antenna with fender mounted Antenna

[SJ]

Addendum to my original post.
I dont want to install a power antenna. I will mount a generic whip style,
pivot base antenna.

I have received several replies to my post, but none have addressed the
issue of interfacing antenna cable to the radio.
Does the radio have a standard antenna input jack in the rear antenna
position? A standard antenna cable will plug right in?
What do I do with the front antenna input jack? Just leave it unplugged?
