Excellent idea!

I think I saw a crane at Northern that went into the receiver hitch, and had two fold down legs for additional support. That seemed like a great alternative to a welded in place crane on the truck body.

There are times when I'd like to have a portable crane , but don't want one welded or bolted in the bed of my truck.

If you have the picture of your crane idea, I'd like to see it.
