Looking to get a gravity protein feeder. Would like something under $500 that will last and function properly.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you can make it to the Cleo area with a trailer, I'll give you one, 1000#. It was given to me. PM me.

will a 1000#er fit into the bed of a truck (long bed with tool box)? maybe laying it over with legs sticking out behind (over the tailgate)?

Just know if your worried about the price of the feeder the protein you feed in a year is gonna cost you a whole hell of a lot more.
I did build a cabin. Aka the brokeback shack.

If cost is a factor, as it is for most that don't want to spend a few thousand per year on protein, get a timed All Seasons Protein Feeder. I use Protein as an attractant, not a supplemental feed program for my large free range hunting set up. I fill it for about 225-$250.00 and it lasts about 3 months. It kicks off at about 15-20 minutes after sun up after the coons have gone back to bed. I start in September and typically run it about 4 months. Dominant, bigger bucks find it when they really need it.
I feed corn year round, about a 3 second spin once per day, and then starting September I throw corn twice per day, 5 seconds and an additional spin about about 0830 for 3 seconds. Starting in September this program is about 600 lbs every 6-7 weeks.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Affordable and protein do not go together at all!
