The truck had a big tulsa winch out back. The end of the bed is a big giant steel roller. They hook the winch up and it lifts the end of the derrick and it starts to get pulled up and on the end of the bed. The video shows the front of the truck start to rise as more of the derrick is slid up on the bed. The truck eventually is upin the air somewhat level with the derrick. As the derrick slides up towards the front of the truck and gets over the center of gravity the truck starts to come back down. It wasnt a violent slam back down almost like it was on hydraulics. The video was amazing to see.
