Hi, all. I’m looking for the screw that attaches the radio antenna to the base that is mounted on the body. Is it a common item for sale someplace or maybe part or an assorted pack of antenna screws? Any help appreciated as always.

Are you referring to item 7 below? If so, and that's the only screw I'm aware of used on the antenna, that's a 5/32-18 3/4" long.

No, I my TJ there was an adapter screw type piece that connects 2 to 3. It screws into both and establishes the connection.
That'd pretty much have to be an aftermarket antenna then, the factory antenna doesn't have that as a separate piece. It is swaged onto the rod.
Agreed. If you remove that adapter, you should be able to fit a TJ antenna in there. Or if you're putting another antenna there (I put in a JL antenna because my TJ one was bent and I found the JL one for cheap) then you can choose the adapter accordingly.
EDIT: I ordered mine from McMaster–Carr.
