    Ever heard of a Z-rack? I built one on my '89 back in 1990. Dump, tilt, left, right....you know we used to dance our beds. I built mine myself. One pump, three cylinders. Could've put a turntable on it, but never did. Old school rocks, or atleast it did.

    No man, never heard of the term, but, I have seen some setups that may be similar in design to how you described it up close, that sh*t is crazy! Totally awesome, but, Im looking for a more modest and simplistic design for mine. Thanks for the post and would love to see some pics or old coverage if you have it ! Old school is totally kewl, my other Toyota is going back in time after this one gets it grounding! :rolleyes:

    I have an idea for my truck but don't know if it will work.
    I have some door hinges off a 2000 Malibu and an air bag/lift frame from under a diesel truck seat.

    I used one in my s-10 on my speaker box in the ex cab to make it lift up and drop...lol
    should have no problem lifting the bed in a side tilt configuration.....one of my many projects in a box on the shelf...lol
