Install of 07 F-250

[fire_master_21]

I will be ordering a new truck before the end of the month. I know it will be a crew cab 4x4 diesel. beyond that I haven't given much thought to what else I want inside the truck. Here's the question part. Anyone have any pic's, tricks, hints that you have come along doing your installs in these trucks?
Here's what I have to install.
High power AS W4
High power MCS2000
and maybe a dual band hammy rig.

Ordering? You won't be ordering an '07... you'd be getting an '08 with the new 6.4 diesel, which has a completely different interior.

Personally, I run a 30-inch Havis Consolidator console in mine along with a mount for the MW800 display. Lighting package is 100% Whelen.

Well I am not sure on that. You can still build an 07 online. I guess I should have said in the worst case I will be ordering unless I can find one on a lot with everything I want on it already. You have any pic's of yours?

[tvsjr]

'07s are gone. No more ordering them. There aren't even that many left on the lots.

I don't have many pix of the completed build, but:

I hope you own stock in M with how many spectras you have there.

So...in the picture you had room for another three or four radios - I'm sure you couldn't possibly have left empty space!

[tvsjr]

Nope... BCD996T for a throwdown scanner and two more Kenwood x180s (county-issued VHF, low-split UHF for amateur, high-split UHF for LTR).

just an FYI for any major work on the 6.4l ford TSB says to Remove the whole cab off the truck

Ditto on the 6.0... ditto on the Duramax. That's becoming pretty much standard practice these days. It makes life a whole lot easier for the tech... a bit harder for us radio guys.

You can use this in an article about interoperability. When I saw the first console picture I was wondering what everything on the side of the console was, now I realize they're speakers. Any way we can see a shot of the antenna farm? And are all of those remote heads? I would think it would be easier to have them all in-console. It'll be interesting to see everything installed with the laptop.

All remote. In-console makes the console massively heavy (hard to mount and keep from vibrating) and requires the radios to stick up more for cable clearance/connector clearance. The only thing one-piece in that console is the Maxtrac and the BCD996T.
