These are my ideas for the frame shape.

The orange bed shows the tapered bottom frame. Wider next to the cab and narrower at the rear.

The purple truck shows the side idea. The numbers on the right are in degrees from horizontal. The ones on the left are the degrees of downward slope. The only reason for the 6*/10* thing is I think Chaz and I are talking about the same angle but I'm not sure how to write it.

At this point it's all just guess work. Except for the angles from Chaz. I am pretty sure that's what I am going to shoot for. I am open to all suggestions though.

Thanks to everyone
