I have 2 on my truck, one would probably be good on a pickup. Both were bought on Ebay. The lower camera uses a 1" hole, here is the lower camera pic:

I too have the Peak brand purchased (on sale) from Advance Auto Parts for $69. It came with everything needed including a suction cup mount that I put in the top left corner of the windshield so it is hidden with the visor down. The camera mounts to the liscense plate top two holes.

Well I have the rear sensors factory, but added a new head unit that had the rear camera set up. So I just opted for the cheapo license plate frame mounted camera and it does fine for me. The cool thing is, I set mine up to come on anytime I wanted and not just when in reverse...so I can see anything haha.

It is a 10.4" monitor that clips on to the factory mirror. It has 2 video inputs, and the brand is Eonon. It was on Ebay for about $100, and is shipped direct from the manufacturer in Taiwan. It has held up great, it is on all the time when my truck is running. You can use it as a rear view when it is turned off.
