What is the best way to run your coax in an F-250 Super on a permanent mount antenna?

Usually If I install for gents there are 1 of 2 places. First is the door boot. Come down the fender to the door, route it into the rubber door boot (route it sans connector and Poke a small hole in the bottom and the rubber will seal around the coax). There usually a panel access right under the dash on the door edge. then under the carpet to under the seat and out. If your worried about soldering in the vehicle I use Gold Plated Shakespeare (

Else there are usually rubber plugs in the firewall you can poke through and the rubber seals around the coax. Just make sure you check both sides before you poke
.
I run power cable Through the firewall too. I use Anderson Power Pole power panel (
