Hand crank tilt bed for TT

I recently bought another TT truck with the express bed and wish to install a hand crank tilt bed mechanism I have. My question to the group: does anybody have photos of a tilt bed attached to the Ford steel express bed or other bed? I've attached a photo of my mechanism, if you know of any more information on the manufacture that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Lowell

Lowell, I have seen pictures of this type of hoist. It mounts between the body and the cab. You should be able to see that a proof-coil type of chain would be wound onto a drum or shaft as it pulled over and down to the front of the body long sills. ( longitudional body supports). The tripod would move in an arc as it seeks the most favorable fulcrom point. Post this question on the MTFCA site and I'll bet you get much more information.
