Pickup Bed Hoist

[Tooler2]

I've got one that my Dad built it mounts in the 2 inch hitch receiver. I have the hitch receiver in the middle and I welded another 2 inch receiver out by the edge of the frame. The crane mounts on the outside edge about the same position as if it was in the bed. You can easily take it on and off. The tailgate has to be off to use it. I've only used it once to move a small millstone. If you want I can take some pictures. I think it would be much more convenient then having one mounted permanently in the bed of the truck.

I would like to see pics. I have been wanting to mount one outside the box connected to the hitch and probably frame, with a drop leg for when in use. I don't mind taking it off and only installing it when going to collect something. I think a mounting plate that I could use as a step to get into the box would be a great bonus. I presume it is not illegal as hitches stick out the back, would have to watch interference when turning sharply with a trailer.
