However, I am not sure if the bed would.

A Ford bed will, but I'm not sure about a Dodgy, er, Dodge bed, Ig.

I have a Chevy now.

Condolences.


Truck frames aren't built to support that kind of lateral stress,
either, though. It's all a crap shoot unless you use a 1T truck with a
utility bed on it. They're heavily built to handle the stresses.

I will look to see if I can find a steel plate that is wide than the
base of the crane.

See my other post in regard to beefing up the mount on the frame.
