The 2000 F-150 doesn't have a full double din enclosure, so normal installation didn't work out. I have a BCD996T that I wanted to install, but its faceplate would have had to overlap the stereo's as there isn't enough vertical room for a full double stacked single DIN install. As it was, I still had to cut a lot of material out of the truck. I would have taken pics of the install itself, but the camera's battery was dead and I didn't have time to wait for it to charge. Photos were all taken after I finished the installation.
For years I used a handheld stuffed in the cupholder. I got tired of it staying in the way, so when my cd changer died, I decided to put in a cheap single DIN stereo that can play mp3's straight off a jump drive. The BCT-8 isn't made for this kind of install, but it worked, and I was able to mount it at a more normal depth than I would have the 996T.
Not pictured is the Uniden ESP-20 external speaker, mounted in the floor against the heater, and the suction cup mounted duckie antenna routed and mounted on the back glass so that I don't have any external antennae. I don't need long range, so the duckie works fine.
Some of the stuff I cut out. There was a bunch more still laying in the floorboard.
