Mounting a CB radio or ham radio
#2
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.

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.

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.
