Question:

Will I still have a good view of my truck bed from the camera in the 3rd brake light on the cab?

The B&W Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7502BA does have a louvered design and there is an opening where the 3rd brake light above the cab on your 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty is going to be visible. Keep in mind, any headache rack will (at least somewhat) obstruct a 3rd brake light camera because of how high they sit up and the area that they have to cover in order to be effective.

This headache rack provides the best solution to avoid any obstruction because of the louvered design and the positioning of the opening for the 3rd brake light camera; while it won't be completely unobstructed, you should still have enough visibility to see a good portion of the truck bed.

@BillM No, you won't. We had a customer send us pics of the B&W Custom Headache Rack item # BWPUCP7502BA installed on a F-350. You can see these on the product page. He has the same setup as you do and the top slat in the middle sits directly in front of the brake light camera.
