Since they never made a 6X6 Power Wagon or had a dump bed on the WC63 I am going to steer away from trying to make a bed that looks like a Power Wagon Bed. To me a 10 ft PW bed is just to long and narrow looking? This is a picture of what I am shooting for. Instead of flat sides I will go with angle shaped sides and a 50" wide bottom. The bottom will come up strait till it clears the tires then 45 deg over more till it is as wide as the wheel base. At that point I will bend it strait again and put a box steel top on the edge. The fenders will bolt or weld onto the angled sides over the tires but not rounded more squared off. This will give me a wider top for more hauling space and balance out the size of the bed. The bed will be smooth on the inside to make dumping easy (no wheel wells)and made of a heavier gauge steel then the sheet metal used on a regular PW bed. The tail gate will also swing several ways. Not sure yet on the Cab end may make it come up to protect the cab more but not go over the cab top.
