I just picked up on your thread.

Are you going for just a flatbed or are you planning on a dump bed? With a nice flat surface a dump hoist would be great. I had a Pierce Wrecker 2 ton hoist installed by a local equipment place about 14 years ago and it is great to have for the times when I need it. My preference would be for a dump insert, but they run about $3-$5K for a nice one and the conversion I got was about $2k back then.
