F350 - Kenwood 8180 Remote Install

[Extreme]

Has anyone installed a mobile unit in the newest body F-Series CC Ford?  Looking for installation hints.  Planning for Kenwood TK-8180 under/behind rear seat with head on remote mount on the dash, 1/4 wave antenna center of roof.

 

I'll visit YouTube as well but hoping someone here might have a write-up of sorts.  

 

Thanks.

Go over to radiorefetence. There’s several recent threads on installs in aluminum bodied Fords. Tons of info and experience there for the reading.

Have 6 NMO mounts in my F150. Same concept. Buy a good NMO. I used seat bolt in back with bracket that hold plywood. Simple and easy.

Not clear on what you're hanging on the plywood.. the radio base?  Pictures?

I dont have pictures but there are a ton on RR. Yes radio decks are all bolted to a piece of painted plywood that uses a Steel L bracket to the seat bolts.

Thanks to you and Steve.  Looks like a great resource.  Logged right in so obviously signed up for it some time ago then promptly forgot about RR.
