Here you go..
I think your base is an AB-15. If so, Antenna sections MS-116, 117,
and 118 make up a 9' approx. whip. Two more MS-116 can be inserted at
the bottom to make a 15 ft. whip. The unit works well with low band
VHF radios 30-80 MHz including the 6 meter (50 MHz) ham band, but can
easily be made to work with HF and CB radios with the correct antenna
tuner. (you have the low band VHF radios already I think I saw them
installed, and I think those bight be able to work on the 6M band, any
model numbers on them?).

You can get mast sections reasonably priced from Haney Electronics
(tc0654@mesh.net) or from other vendors.
To confirm the type of mount, can you take a closeup of the top with
the hole? It should have a 2-3" deep hole with coarse pitch,
smooth-ish threads.
