Biuld a strong decking of Aluminum. And an Oratex 6000 and cromemoly (better weight = strength ratio)truss side bordswith the proper angles built like the tail of a Piper Cub.
This is a possable answer for those asking what to do for a PU with a flat bed....

Could you draw up you're interpretation of what I have described now mind you it must have an opening hatch that you can put a refrigerator and strap the top down( maintaining some semblance of aerodynamic profile in the open position) fit a washing machine ( withthe control panels removed), the lid fully clothed as my current design is capable of.

I'm gonna try to photograph the Dodge pickup project which I abandoned in 2005,when I got the T-100.
It has a plywood skeleton of an aeroshell atop a plywood flatbed.The flatbed has underfloor side pods and a garage for the spare tire,between the frame rails (as the 1st gen Ridgeline has used).
It will be better than a drawing and easier to produce,as everything about it is a compound surface,virtually impossible to render.Only KamperBob and Low & Slow have seen it.
Give me a little time to make that happen.
