I just found companies panavise and proclip. Looks exactly like the solution for mounting stuff. They make clips for tractor brands too! Panavise makes mounts that are mounted behind trim, no suction cups or magnets. Proclip makes mounts that clip into place on the trim of the dash. They use the amps mount plate system. Can mount your phone in a variety of methods or a gps, even tablets.
What is your electronics ####pit setup?

First pic shows GPS mounted on driver door.
Second pic shows:
Tire monitor
Phone
Galaxy CB
Qualcomm
Hotspot
10" tablet for Google traffic
Also you can see a Bestpass on the windshield, and there is also a Prepass outside the photo, directly above the Bestpass at the top of the windshield, but it's only like 1/4 the size of the bestpass.
The tablet and Qualcomm are both mounted with RAM mounts. Qualcom came with one RAM and you can get extra ones on ebay to fit many different devices.
The CB dash mount came with the truck. I bought a couple short pieces of black flextube, like a plastic conduit, to hide the wires in so it doesn't look so messy from outside the truck.
The tire monitor, phone and hotspot are mounted with either Scotch outdoor mounts, similar to velcro but stronger, bought off the clearance shelf at Office Depot or Officemax (can't remember which), or with an even better and much more expensive velcro-like stuff called 3M dual-lock. The bestpass came with a single use of dual-lock, but when I asked bestpass for another set because I wanted to reposition the bestpass, they sent me like a whole huge handful - basically a lifetime supply! Score!
