Heres how i mounted my stuff (rand 740, phone) in my 94 t600.
(Yes, i redid the whole panel in rocker switches, was getting tired of switches breaking at 30-80$ each, whole thing done for 600$ and a boatload of rewiring and hours of frustration)
You Probably are able to do something similar in your truck, just think through it 8 times before you make the first holeSpeed_Drums Thanks this. -

I have mine at the top of the windshield so it's out of the way. The power cord you can't see, it runs down the middle of the windshield where the weather strip is. Few small pieces of tape keeps the cord out of the way. My suction cup stays up forever it seems

I don't have a GPS, I'm still using maps. However, like @Brettj3876 said, put it up high and run the cord down the window split. If you have a drop visor, that is unused space anyways. If not, look at ram mount. They have all kinds of option available, including floor mounts and a track system. You are bound to find something that will work.

I have a dashcam in my 379 and that is where I put it and run my wires. I miss my 359.
But it's nice to be able to stand up in my 379.
