I am installing a rear view camera and need to run the camera cable into the cab. I would prefer it to be somewhere close to the center console since this is where the LCD is mounted.
Is there any existing holes anywhere near here?
I know of the hole in the fire wall near the steering column but already have that filled with wires for my gauges.

Thanks for any info.

i know that i have a hole under the cab that i was going to pop into this weekend. i wanted to securely get wires from the cab to the back of the truck so I'm going to run them in armored/watertight 3/4" loom (some are alarm for the bed and I don't want any riff-raff being able to clip them). i was gonna tap in here.

Is that under one of the seats?


Which side of the truck?

I had to run hoses for my horn in my Dodge. I drilled holes where I wanted them to come in. Just take your time before doing it, making sure you are in a good safe location. Too many people are afraid to drill or cut thier new trucks. Shoot I remember punching a hole in the roof of my 97 Chevy when it was a year old for the CB antenna. That is the best location for it and the best way to mount for performance. Do you think somebody will refuse to buy the truck because of a perm mount CB antenna? It does come with a low profile weather cap for those times you need to remove the whip.

Don't be afraid to drill but be sure to drill or hole saw big enough (always end up wanting to run something else through there) to install a grommet. I use a piece of rubber hose and split it open with a razor. Makes great grommet material.

I ran all of my strobe cables through the cab vents. Thought I might have water problems doing this, not a drop yet.

I think it's behind the driver seat - I'm not sure but had the pic and figured I'd post it.


I'll bet if you crawl under though, you'll find it - looks to be just behind the torsion bar key cross-member and I think that's the driver's side since you can see the (fuel?) lines running there along the frame rail.

Got the cable ran. Found this which I thought was forthe E-brake but don;t think it is now:

Now where do I mount the camera?
