$340 seems pretty high. I bought an AC Delco Hoist at Oreilly Auto for around $240. You can get cheaper, but I don't like to try and save money on lifting equipment.

The following link has some info on it with picture.

I would also suggest the cab and lift that others have recommended. I used it on my truck and I thought it worked great. Took the cab and bed off by myself, easy.

He also has plans for a tip/flip dolly that are in his sig. I purchased those as well and can highly recommend. Makes it nice to be able to roll around the cab all over the garage, in the driveway, etc.

Here's a link to the cab/bed lift post.
