I'll get some pictures of the hinge shortly. I ended up using a 1 1/2" shaft with some hubs that attached to the frame of the truck and frame of the bed. The lift time is slow - I haven't timed it yet, though. I'll either get a video or at least time it some time. Thanks.

It's been a little while, but I finally got the hoist on. I've hauled a few loads with it and it seems to work well for my purposes. The electric pump is a little slow, but it's still a lot faster than throwing things out by hand. You'll probably notice that I need to repair the rear axle...
