Looking for ideas on mounting a CB or ham radio and antennas on my 2015 Supercrew. Thanks for any help

I'm planning on putting an NMO mount on the roof in front of the high mount stoplight. There are a couple of videos on YouTube which cover it. Not sure how I'll mount the radio until I actually get the truck.

I am considering the remote install Cobra C75 WX ST for infrequent use, as it doesn't look like there is much place to install anything else. No idea for antenna yet.

Not sure on the CB side but I was looking at a Yaseu with the front panel remote kit so the main part of the radio would be under the seat or console and the radio face mounted somewhere on the dash. For the antenna I was looking at a Comet brand model that folds down, mounted to a rear stake pocket mount.

Here's how I put 4 NMOs on mine

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking about doing too. For the 2 meter anyway. Probably mount CB antenna on the front fender so it doesn't hit the top of the garage to much. Do you have any pictures of how you have your radios mounted?

Here's how I did it in my '11 and How I'm gonna do it in the '15 of course this requires no center console. One of my 3 reasons for not wanting the center console.

I have a Yaesu FT-857D with an ATAS-120 antenna and I have no idea how I'll mount everything in the vehicle.

Came across these guys - http://www.lidomounts.com/homepage.html

They have mounts for most popular ham radios, and are reasonably priced. The seat bolt mount with the gooseneck is interesting. Vent mounts could also be an option.

Also saw these, made specifically for the F150 - http://www.proclipusa.com/dashboard-...-150/2015.cmsv

A bit pricey for what it is, but it could work if you have something that needs an AMPS mounting plate. (You'll need a device-specific cradle that mounts to a AMPS baseplate, or custom-drill it.) The left vent one is a bit cheaper, but it seems to block a good amount of the vent. I think the Kenwood control heads use AMPS, but I'm not sure of other brands.

They also have these - http://www.proclipusa.com/mounts/con...le-mounts.aspx.
Not sure if they'll work w/ the F150, but maybe...

I'm looking at http://www.firestik.com/Catalog/NGP_M2.htm this...

So far it's the best thing I've found for a CB antenna...
