I just used my largest scrap left over from my hovercraft elevator project.

On the hovercraft the sheets of acrylic help straighten out the swirling flow from the fan blades.

Back to the truck:
In theory, vortexes will form at the top of cab corners. The tips of the wing stop short of the top corners by about 2 inches. Either this is a good thing by getting out of the way, or I missed the boat on influencing/controlling vortex generation.
Some of the wings were as large as 32-inches in length.
Doing top and sides would be better than just the top,but it would impact bed utility.
