Just curious... what's the purpose of having a camera on the front?

It's a long story, but go to www.hornblasters.com and watch a few videos.. I have an Amtrak air horn setup under my truck with buffering video hooked into my front camera.. It makes for some fun video files.....

I know, it's immature, but it's a great alternative to road rage and damn, it sure is fun.

I have thought about putting another camera on the front of my truck but haven't done it yet. I think it would be really handy in parking lots and the like to help make sure I don't run over grocery carts or other small stuff that you can't see right in front of your truck when you first get back in. I usually park so I have to walk past the front and passenger side of my truck before I get in, but sometimes I am in a hurry. These are big trucks and stuff around them gets lost if you aren't careful

That's actually a pretty good idea. I hate parking sometimes in these tiny spots and I can't see the lil sports car's bumper in front of me.
