Running antenna cables from the cab to the bed.

I will be installing 2 different 2 way radio antennas on each side of the bed. I want to know if there is a way to get cables from inside the cab into the bed area without drilling holes? Ham radio, CB radio etc.

Where do the grommets on each side of the bed go?

Now I need to run 4 gage power and ground from battery to compartment below back seat.

This is what I used for my GMRS antenna cable. Very convenient design from Ford.

I wonder if the cables will fit below the door edge trim or try to fit them below the carpet at the edge of the door.

I think I found an even better spot to run my cable. In the upper corner on each side of the bed there is a small opening more than big enough for a coax cable to pass through. The factory sealed these openings with some kind of foam. I believe it will come out just below the window in the corner. I just need to see where. I have not managed to remove the trim panel below the rear speaker on each side yet. I pushed the end of a whip into the opening and it went in at least 6 inches so it should be in there somewhere.

I cannot seem to get the side panels below the speaker grills to come off.

Any further progress with the little holes in the upper corners of the bed to get into the cab please? Thanks!
