Thats slick location right there. Not sure you have access to the stake pocket on the newer trucks. I had the same issue on my 15. I bought a new plug and I cant remember where but I went to home depot and bought a box and made something that has worked great. I found out later that I could get one from Ford that was much nicer. You have to find a truck that has the plug and take the vin to the dealer so he can order the plug. I drilled a hole in the side of my bed so I could run the wires. so far after 6 years and it's still working fine. I put mine under the bed rails because I didn't like the location low on the sides of the bed. Mine has worked perfect in that location.
