Removable-bed mounted-hoist boom

[ramjet]

I want to mount a removable-bed-mounted hoist boom on my truck. 500#-700# capacity, 360 degree swing, 3 to 4 foot reach. Does anyone have product or mounting suggestions based on favorable experience with this type of rig?

I remember seeing something like this in a JC Whitney catalog not too long ago. It wasn't too expensive.

I've seen some cheapo units that get their strength by attaching to the side of the bed as well as the bottom. I would avoid this type as they have a tendency to bend the bedside. Get one who's bottom bolts down to the frame.
