The first issue I keep running across, is how high the trailer deck is. That might not be an issue for you with your truck, but that seems to be going the wrong direction for someone working with a normal car.
Have you (or anyone else here) thought about building a lowboy frame version, where the center of the trailer is nothing but a backbone frame, suspension and the cargo space is split and hung to either side?

American Viking,if you'll search for: Phil Knox aerodynamics photo albums,under 'Other vehicles 1,page-2,top row,3rd from left,is an image of a MC-based 1-wheeler with central frame,and 'saddlebag' storage compartments.
The floor follows the diffuser angle of the car,but other than that,cargo is as low as clearances will allow.
With two breached vacuum lines,over three states,I averaged 48-mpg,driving as high as 80-mph,and up to 10,600-ft mountain passes.
