So what all does a flatbed eliminate from a standard pickup?

I came up with BLIS, 360 camera, potentially blocks rear cab camera depending on design of flat bed.

Did I miss something?

I'm interested as well. I had planned on putting a nice flatbed on my F-450 at some point, but I've grown to like my 360 camera. If a person got the cameras relocated to the flatbed would it still work reasonably well?

I ASSUME the tailgate camera is based off an exact location, so while it might work as just a reverse camera, but might mess up the 360 view? I don't know, that's just my reasoning on why I'd lose the 360

Most beds these days already have places not only to put the camera's but also the back up assist sensors. I think BLIS would be the big one. As it gets more popular I'm sure someone will figure out an aftermarket BLIS sensor you could mount and plug in.

Yeah but would moving the backup camera to a considerably lower spot on a flatbed not screw up the 360?
