Source for mount
I bought the mount from the fella that makes them for BNG. He's a great guy and does wonderful work. If you need contact info, let me know and I'll give it to you. The pedestal for the M37 is quite tall - 48". You can buy tripod type support legs for it, but I didn't want to obstruct the spare tire. I also didn't want to interfere with access to the bench seats, etc. So, I mounted it 20" from the front of the bed, and directly in the center. I drilled holes for the 4 bolts that go through the fairly small base plate. But I also made an identical size steel plate and put that on the bolts underneath. So, the bed is actually sandwiched between the top and bottom plates. This wiggles a little when you hit a bump or something, but it's good and solid and isn't going anywhere. If I get nervous, I might add a support later, but it seems fine and it leaves plenty of room for everything else in the back.
By the way, had I not taken the garage door off the barn, with my tractor, some years ago, I would have done the manly thing and told her "Of course it isn't going to fit...duh! I'm just doing a preliminary analysis". But, she wouldn't have bought it, and I'm so **** thankful to her for saying something, I'll live with the shame!
