I'm gonna build a flatbed for my 79 this summer. Wood deck, with rub rails, headache rack, under bed toolbox and steps on the back. Also going to build some steps, but extend them far enough back that I can use them to step into the front of the bed.

That's actually not a bad idea. I was planning on build my own box for just the right side since only my front tank works so I'd have a filler neck in the way. I'm not gonna carry a bunch in the box anyway. All my straps, come alongs, and chains are in the box on my trailer.
