The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks # VGM-07-4000 does not offer a mounting place for the factory backup camera. If you want to continue using the backup camera on your 2013 Chevy Silverado then you will need to fabricate a new mount for it. You can see in the attached photo that one customer was able to cut out a section of the plastic in order to install the backup camera.
