B2000 truck cap or kamm?

I've got an old B2000 I recently picked up and wondered about making either a full aero cap, or a kammback extension off the cab. The B2000 has some nice trim pieces behind the door that can be removed and would facilitate solid mounting of a kamm-type attachment, but I wondered if it would be more worthwhile for the full aero treatment - has anyone done a kamm attachment off a pickup cab?

Truck in question with skirt template:



Also with regards to aero cap dimensions and angles, my bed is 6'4" (76 inches) long and five feet wide - the cab measures 19 to 20 inches tall. I understand optimal angles are 12-15 degrees - would this slope make it to the tailgate, or will I have to have a vertical panel on the back of the cap?
