I know Gimp is a flatlander... not having a powered crane rotator.
Actually I have looked into power rotate. Currently I use a come-a-long to pull the boom over the bed if needed. I found a video of a guy that uses a horrible freight winch sideways to have controlled power rotate cheaply. He even hooked up a secondary gear box so it would spin slower.

I suck, because I went a few pages back and can't see where you said you are mounting this to. Are you bolting it to the cargo bed floor?

It will go on the drivers side in the back corner , the pedestal will go through the bed to the new frame work
