Thanks, sounds like alot of work

Its NOT always a lot of work to install. 

Oh yeah! This is what looks like a little old school condenser and you hang it off the top of the coil by its one little screw (there is already one on top of the coil for you), or just pull off the main plug wire and stick one in, put the wire right back into it. The one for the radio itself is harder, cause you have to lean down,  but its still, just pull off the antennae wire and put it inline. Put the wore right back into the filter.  29 seconds apiece?? herehehehehheheheheh
 
  Easy peasy.  I'm lazy, you can count on that. 
  A bigger antennae might get you more distant stations, but if they are noisy you won't hear that much.
  Old downtown auto parts stores will always have them.
  Not sure about strip mall stores with 11 year old kids working there, who want everything to cost 100 dollars.

Thanks, sounds like alot of work so I may just try a bigger antenna mounted further from the engine compartment

Its NOT always a lot of work to install.  Its been a while but I remember solving my '69 issues with ONE.  I believe most are a simple in-line condenser.  If its going in your '52 truck - I can tell you exactly where in original schematics.
If it were going in my truck than I could tell you exactly where it goes but no I am talking about my late model, its no problem either way, I just have too many projects to start installing noise suppressors that may or may not work within a computer controlled vehicle that may or may not have fits if I fiddle with it.

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

If you have a term I can google and see a picture of the specific item you are talking about that installs inline with the radio antenna than I would go this route as long as it was not an expensive item.

I can pull the radio no problem
