Confusion is my curse, sorry. I meant existing openings in side panels for the wheels. They have nice curvature. A teardrop shell (side view) blends with those elements so it not only pleases the wind but eyeballs too. Since you don't use the bed much, construction can be simplified. Sounds like you don't need/want a hatch lid for access. 3D mockup is fun. Google Sketchup is free yet surprisingly good. Here's a concept I doodled a while ago that might offer some food for thought.
