Truck bed camera
Hello!
I was doing some research for my Fiance' for his upcoming birthday but got no where. We own a farm, and other property and he hauls our 20,000lb tractor all over the place on a fifth wheel, by a F350. He doesn't mind it, but if no one is there to help him hook it up it is a pain. His cab is to long to see the 5th wheel in the bed. I have been trying to find out if there is a way to put a camera there so he can see it. If there is a way, would he be able to hook it to the screen where the backup camera is? I have seen the 3rd brake light ones, but I don't want to do that to the truck.
Any ideas would be great!

I think that is exactly what you are looking for. Found it by accident and remembered reading your post.

Peak wireless camera for $80 at autozone. It mounts to your license plate but you can modify it to mount directly in the bed under the lip. I advise sealing the lens with silicone, I had one get moisture inside and they replaced for free. I took the screen and screwed the bracket to the back of my mirror (make sure you aren't drilling into anything). I love it for hooking up my trailer!
