I need to find a way to mount it at 45 degrees though, otherwise it
stands too tall and I cannot go to enclosed parking spaces.

What keeps it from coming off its base? Maybe you could change
something in that area so you could lift it off and lay the upper
portion down in the bed. I'm sure it is heavy, but you probably
wouldn't be doing it all that often...


I wanted it to be out of the way, not taking the whole bed.

You know to change the subject a bit, I've often thought you could put
a lift-gate on your truck to good use. Like these:

Many years ago my Dad used to deliver goods for a Rental-Equipment Co.
He drove a modified 3/4 ton stake truck for many years with a small
crane that mounted between the cab-box. It was always a custom install,
job to move the crane to a new truck. So they finally gave it up and
went to a lift-gate much to my Dad's chagrin. After having to use the
lift-gate for awhile he admitted that it did work pretty well for the
majority of deliveries...

Cranes look cooler though
