How to run wires/remove plastic panels?
Is there a thread/youtube video about wire running tips in our F150's? Also where to get power (ignition and constant).
I have a Scab, and would like to install a Ham radio, backup camera, dash cam.
Thanks,
John

Back up camera is usually powered from the 12v power to the reverse light bulb. Ham radio I would suspect you would tie into the 12v for the dash radio. Dash cam I know a lot of people tie into the power for the windshield mounted rearview mirror if you have one that's powered.

Yes, I have powered rearview, good tip there.
Ham radio requires 12-10 gauge from battery, I suppose that would be directly from the battery, maybe i'll look into small fuse blocks for neater distribution.

Front windshield pillars I believe are a couple screws hidden under pop out caps in the pillar itself. Under the steering wheel is two screws at the bottom of the panel and then a couple clips similar to the clips on the radio bezel.
