A lower profile antenna can be made with a brass rod. Measure your old antenna, take a brass rod that same length, coil the bottom around a 1/2" wood dowel several turns. The extended part needs to be 2/3 the amount used for the coil part. Dip the whole assembly into a rubberizing goo for several coats, allowing it to dry between coats.
Or, go to a CB shop and check out their make your own antenna kits.
