Hi Jarhead5963,
Welcome!
We're looking forward to seeing your truck crane. If you need more help posting photos, just let me know (in this thread is fine for the sake of simplicity) and I'll get you squared away.

I took my crane to my bro- in-law Carl. He's been a professional welder to most of his life. His advice and welding expertise was much appreciated. We mounted the crane on the rear of my flatbed dodge 3500. The winch I ordered from Northern Tool should be here mid-week along with a couple sheaves from Grainger. Meanwhile, I'll put a nice black paint job on it to match the bed and take a break for weekend football. Maybe I'll be able to get some pics on line then.HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
Here are 2 quick youtube videos...obviously the winch hasn't been installed but this is what it looks like on the back of my truck. I took an engine hoist rated a 4.25k and mounted I on a Chevy truck axle I picked at junkyard. Made a housing to fit the race and cut the axle then snugged it up in the bottom of the housing. Ordered a 4k# ATV winch with brake.
