Default HF truck crane

I've got one, and used it until I sold the pickup. It worked. but was a pain
in the butt to use. You must have a truck with suspension that can handle
it. you need to secure it to the frame, not the truck floor. Lifting a small
V8 into the back of a Ranger was an experience. I ended putting jack stands
under the rear of the truck. The unit performed as advertized, the truck
didn't.


I have a 3/4 ton pickup, so I think that it would hold up to 1,000 lbs.

However, I am not sure if the bed would.
