I think I have space. My GMC is a 3/4 ton with a stake bed. That bed sits on top of a 2x6 board on either side that sits on top of the frame rails.

I do have a recently installed high intensity LED backup lamp that I installed under the rear lip of the bed that may need to be moved off center.

Estimated delivery of the crank mechanism is now Saturday, so it'll be next week (at least) before I get to go trolling at the junkyard for a handle.
