Best Way into cab with coax?

[Chevy Joe]

Hope Everyone is having a GREAT Summer !!

 

I installed an antenna on my cap and need to get the coax into the cab, I don't want to use the Back Panel Vents, Don't mind using a hole saw, just need to know best spot

 

Its only about 1/8 of an inch COAX (RG316 PTFE 1/8" diameter coax)

 

 

It's a really cool mount from DIAMOND (K9000TM) that you can raise and lower LOVE IT !!

So Grommet in the back wall of cab not possible? (2012 extended cab pictured)

 

I was hoping to fold back seat up and drill there somewhere

 

Thanks

Unless more holes is better...

Thanks, I will look in the morning, I didn't know there was a hole under back seat in the extended cab 2012

 

You must be a HAM or commercial radio operator, remote mounting the head

 

I just got a KENWOODTM-V71A Dual Bander (with cross band repeater)

Lets me park the truck and set it up as a repeater for handsets in the area

 

Thanks for the info
