I put mine on the back of my bed cover. I'd post a pick but I'm too lazy.

Nice Aeromech! I'm new to the F150 and only see the emblem ones for the 09-14 on ebay. Did you find one for the 04-08 specifically? I didn't know if the emblems were close enough to work or not.

Congrats on the grandbaby!

Check Out Camera Source, great quality products. I ordered their Handle when I had my 07 and a screen I already had.

Until you need to back up and have your tailgate down because you are hauling stuff.....

I got the camera from camera source. There was two different resolutions available and I got the higher one. The camera has back up lines and the HU has it's own lines. You can select which ones you want to use. I don't have a pic right now of the image but it's good.

Here's the main page

Here's the one I bought

I wanted mine centered with my hitch and didn't want it on the tailgate. I said screw it and I drilled a hole in my license plate. It sits pretty flush with the plate and not too noticeable.

Got any pictures?

That's a good idea! The radio I ordered came with a license plate mounted camera. It will cover my registration tags so for now I think my plan is to cut the ends off so it doesn't cover the tags and maybe melt the ends shut even though I don't feel id need to. After I thought about it for a while I too want mine centered and after reading Summers comment I don't want it on my tailgate either. Even though most of my backing up the tailgate is up.
