I just bought one off of amazon. I did a lot of looking around for one and from what I found you will find them listed as being made by a few different companies (REL, Traxion, and one other I can't remember right now) but they are all the same. There is an option to be able to fold it or not. There is also "pro" model that looks like it would be a little nicer but wasn't worth the $80 or so more. I got mine for $230 shipped.

Mine was actually grown and manufactured in the USA - Jackson, MS to be exact. I built mine out of spare wood I had laying around. My platform can be setup in 5 minutes and will easily support allot of weight. The good ting about this setup is that I can still have all of my tools laying next me without having to constantly reach for them.
I have done 3 injector installs and a BPD kit using my home made F250 platform/stand.

Thanks. Dangit, I knew I forgot something!
Thanks.
Yes, everything you need to work on is basically in your face. For the radiator, I just moved it back a little bit and could get it out. The platform actually hovers over the radiator and supports without putting any weight on them. The platform only touches the truck on the front of the frame on each side of the radiator.
It is not the prettiest structure, but it gets the job done. I usually lay a rug with foam, which you can barely see in the first pic, which helps make the job easier and less painful.
