trailer-made-scratch becomes boneified tool

[Tooler2]

It is only a half ton truck so it will need a drop leg for sure. I would prefer not to use a receiver hitch as I often have a trailer on as well. I have an 8' box but I really don't want to waste any on a crane. I bought a couple of small cable cranes, a 3 and a 5k lbs a couple of years ago but have not done anything yet. I was thinking I could use the passenger side of the frame with the receiver hitch bolts to get a sturdy attachment platform. I need the tail gate to be fully functional.
