This how I spent my day yesterday. I asked on here last fall about dump hoists for pickup trucks. Well I found one and got it in November.
I helped my friend do some work in his house, so he said he would help install it. The job wasent to bad, he has a lift in his garage, so it was pretty easy.

Nice. Looks like the fuel filler was an issue. Was anything else? Did the wiring run all the way back on the frame and not require much moving? Elec./hyd ? Neighbor has a dump box on a F350 with elec/hyd. I was impressed with how well it worked.
 
Its electric Hydro. The bumper would have worked but it hit on the factory ford hitch. There was no way around it. So we made a bumper out of 10" channel iron. Dosent look great but we can step into the bed this way. Yes I still have to finish the fuel fill neck.
 
This is what we came up with. Ugly, but!!! I will paint it when it stops raining. Were thinking of cutting the ends on a angle, you can maybe see our finger lines. Dont know yet.
