Let me add my . I have an M108 deuce crane. While I really like the truck, I really dislike the fact that if I want to go fetch something, I need to take a trailer. Sometimes taking the trailer is practical but there are times it really sucks. Even if you only have a 6' bed, you could go and fetch an engine or the like without having to drag a trailer along. If it's something bigger, you can always take the trailer too. I've been around and used Cranetrucks deuce and can attest to the utilitarian nature of it having a bed. Unless there was a specific application that required me to have the 5th wheel, I'd keep a bed.
