No I didn't. It is tougher to fill up for sure. But that's because I haven't mounted the fuel necks in any permanent spot yet. Still troubleshooting.

Like they use on their "utes". I wish these ute style beds were more common here in the states. They seem really versitile and handy.
And yes I do realize that basic flatbed trucks are common here...especially out here in rural texas.

Like this (the power wagon pics are from a truck here in the states):

these two pictures are just a cool OBS with a flatbed

from here down are the type of bed I was talking about. You have bed sides when needed, but you can fold down (all three sides), remove, etc and have the best of both worlds when it comes to a truck bed.
