Aftermarket camera to replace factory?

I am trying to get all my ducks in a row to order a truck next month. I will be taking the bed off and selling it as a take off, and replacing it with a steel flatbed. I would really like to retain a backup camera on the rear of the flatbed using the factory ultimate camera system. Does anyone know of an aftermarket camera that would be a plug and play replacment for the tailgate cam that i could install on the flatbed?

Wouldn't it be cheaper ordering a cab and chassis then? they still have all the connections. I don't know about an after market camera. My have to call a chassis builder and ask them.

It would be slightly cheaper, but the factory bed is worth quite a bit more than the price difference. The deal breaker in favor of the pickup is the fuel tank. C&C SRW f-350 has a 28 gallon tank, pickup has a 34 gallon. I hate a small tank.

Plus the HP and torque are de-rated on the C&C.
