2019 Backup Camera Relocation/Harness

I just pulled the bed off my truck (2019 F350) and while doing so I removed the backup camera from the tailgate. I'd like to relocate the camera to the new flatbed once installed so I can see the rear receiver hitch while hooking up to farm equipment. Does anyone here know where I could purchase the wiring harness or mounting brackets to do so? I can fab the brackets myself and jerk the wiring harness from the tailgate that I'm going to sell, but would just as soon buy them if the price isn't ridiculous.

Thank You.

Check out BBAS Bulletin Q-282R2. 2019 should be the same.

Rostra sells a kit made to relocate the tailgate camera for vehicles that may have a cap or bed mounted item like a salt spreader.

I have not yet seen one for the 3rd brake lamp camera, it uses a different type of harness.

I couldn't bring myself to spend a couple hundred bucks for a plastic box and a wiring harness, so I jerked the factory harness from the tailgate and separated the camera wiring from the power lock wiring, reapplied the flexible conduit and retaped it. The factory backup cam fits perfectly in a Serpac Model 111 Electronic Enclosure (really cheap), and the circuit board bosses hold the camera perfectly in place. I drilled a hole in the enclosure for the camera lens, then another through the vertical sheetmetal surface on the back of the steel flatbed and mounted the box with camera on the inside of that sheetmetal with the camera lens just about flush, just above the hitch area. Ended up with less than $10 in the whole shebang, for what it's worth.
