Brian,
I built my first boom. It was a rustic copy of a Kelley boom with out the
levelling devices. If you can find a copy of the Kelley publicity you may be
able to construct one yourself. I happened to have a reversible 12 volt
motor with a wire reel, but a 12 volt winch would do the job. It worked well
on the 3500 pick-up.  I then purchased a larger truck and bought an old
Payne loader ( it's for sale!). These are not too expensive, work well and
are very robust. Much more so that the Billet, but there are heavy and
require a large turning circle. If you want more info ( l still have my boom
files) contact me directly.
Peter
