On another thread Aerohead suggested putting ballast in the car to simulate driver and passenger weight before determining the correct angle for a boattail from the template. As I recall, you said you need to haul things in your truck bed from time to time. I had this thought that it may be better to be conservative in your angles (as I think you are) than to get them just right and have it too steep as soon as you put a load in the bed of the truck.
