Did 78 trans ams without the power antenna option come with window antennas or antenna mounted on fender? Thanks in advance

Windshield antenna was standard equipment though a power antenna in the LH fender was optional for '79-'81.
Antenna mounted on the quarter panel was usually a dealer installed item for CB packages,etc

Ok, thanks that's what I have and your right the dealer did install my rear power antenna with a trunk mounted cb. Now the next question would be how would this look on the build sheet(which I haven't found yet) and what was the RPO code for this package. Also what would have been the MSRP sticker price? There doesn't seem to be any info concerning this package on message boards beyond the Delco am/fm stereo with cb mounted in the map box under the dash and power antenna on front fender. My package was something else altogether and must have had some sort of code don't you think. Thanks in advance.

Doubtful on a factory RPO since it was dealer items...also why it wouldn't be on buildsheet

So probably the only thing on the build sheet would have been the code for the Delco radio that came with my package. Thanks for your help. I replaced my original radio and threw it away years ago, then lost my window sticker. The only thing left now in the car of the original package is the power antenna and RCA cb that was installed in the trunk. I just wonder now what was the original price of this package. If memory serves it was on my original window sticker but didn't come on the PHS one so the price may be lost to the ages. The PHS sticker didn't even show a radio.

Here is a link to the holy grail of RPO's
There are some prices listed for some of the radio packages...maybe this will give you a general idea
