Being its a 5ton, I doubt it effects it much, but he knows its there. Unless its registered commercial, he shouldn't need to worry about empty weights and scales. Edit, thanks for the pics!

Yeah, did we ever get pics of the "meat n potatoes" of the install? Bolts and gussets and cabling etc?

Depending on what your looking for in a crane, I might have one that would meet your requirements fairly well(SD).

I've contacted spx in the past about a hydro pump. They were very helpful in their reply.

Wired pendant or wireless? What did you find out on the solenoid voltage? Lookin good man! I agree, we need video

Leave it black and get green decals!

What rod you using?

Actually I have looked into power rotate. Currently I use a come-a-long to pull the boom over the bed if needed. I found a video of a guy that uses a horrible freight winch sideways to have controlled power rotate cheaply. He even hooked up a secondary gear box so it would spin slower.

The mount is the most important part, then lift capacity and reach. They are all kinda related so keep that in mind. I have cranes that have hydraulic lift, extend, swing, and hoist. The crane I made for the bed of my deuce has an electric winch and everything else is manual. I want to be able...

I don't know the charging system you have available, but if I were to do electric/hydro, I'd have a (pony)motor spinning an alt to power it.

I'm sure you can get an idea of what you need by looking at the stock install(ford).

Call any time. The best advise I could give is when you think you have enough bracing and gussets, add 40% more! As stated earlier, I built the crane in my deuce bed. I put a 5/8 plate under the bed to mount it to and spread the load. Once I used it, the bed floor flexed DOWN! So I had to add...

You guys think green iron multiplies... you would not believe me if I told you how many cranes I have. Almost as bad as bench vises!

After working with thick wall tube for my dump trailer project, I will be using channel next time! I'm glad I have a magdrill cause drilling those holes square and parallel would have been horrible with a hand drill! Lots of beveling for welding too. What a pita.

Specs!

Which? I might have access to a 3203.
