    When I traded out trucks (company issued) I was in my new one for exactly 87 seconds when I had 4 holes drilled into the bed side panel of the cubby cabinet for a swing arm tv mount, and another hole under it to run the DVD cables through. I inspected the truck, reported the holes in the cabinet obviously drilled by the previous driver before I left the yard, and everybody was in a happy place with paperwork and a picture of the holes. I have a 22 inch RCA flat screen I got at Wal Mart for 150 bucks. It will fold flat against the cabinet, and I keep it still with a bungee cord.

    Instillation Tip - put a piece of wood (I used a 2x4) on the inside of the cabinet and use lag screws to attach the mount. It will give you enough support where you can almost hang off of it. Cut your wood to the length of the cabinet's top to bottom where it will wedge in there and use the corners as support.
