While it was not a Ford pickup truck, it was built from the back half of a wrecked '79. Being a trailer, it didn't twist the frame like a 4 wheeled truck. I used channel and welded it to the frame, then bolted my 2x6 pressure treated flooring in. My uprights were 2x2 angle welded to my cross members. I did this one in the '80s, it tilted too. I traded it to a owner of a tree service on a job, it's still working. I had by then flipped the axle and added a couple leaves each side so it was lower and stiffer, also removed the ring and pinion for a buddy.
