Could you install stake pockets and a rubrail around the bed like they do on flat beds? That way you would have tie downs where ever you want or you could put short sides into the stake pockets to haul dirt, gravel, etc. You could even put up stock racks with top cross braces to haul livestock like we did on the farm.

I'm just dreaming here, but I'd sure like to get a class 8 and do a RV conversion sometime. Please keep the pictures and ideas coming.
