Drew it up today figured the angles at 55 degs to give clearance for the wheels. Fenders will be cheap none just ends to enclose the tires. Heavy gauge 3/16" bottom section and 1/8" sides topped with 2x4 rails. Should be strong enough to put a ATV Winch on the cab end to pull things inside the bed. Able to 4 ft wide stuff in the bed with 2" to spare. I will use air lock pins to open bed for dumping from inside the cab. Tail gate removable with 4 hinge pins.
Bed Design; 6 ft wide at the top. Bottom 50" wide, sides 17" high with the back end head board flush with bottom of window total height 34" aprox. 2" x 4" box steel on top of sides and cab end with 2 angle struts to sides. Tail gate will swing down or up. Bottom 3/16" plate and cab end. Sides 1/8" plate steel. 5 1/2" wheel clearance.
