So similar size bed as what I have on my dually then, mine's about 7' wide, and 9' long. I only have the 18" high racks on it though, so really have to pack the wood in (stacking it if necessary) to get a full cord on. I'm debating about adding some extra racks onto my existing ones for the lighter weight loads that I sometimes have to carry.
I need something quick and easy to throw on and off though, as I need a flatbed for hauling hay still, in order to get the 4 round bales on the racks must be off.

It's freakin' indestructible, but it came with the truck when I bought it. I haven't a clue where one would get it, but I've seen a couple other trucks locally that have them, similar generation, usually on Craigslist. I think a local company did it back in the day, and went out of business or something. You could probably do it yourself, just have to measure, and then hit up a local metal shop that can do the bending, it's riveted into the rails of the bed, and then bolted into the like tared wood base. Literally have chucked concrete slabs, metal, wood, gravel, etc into the bed of the truck. concrete slabs just scuffed the plate, and the layering on the wood adds a slight non-slip while still being able to slide things in and out without the huge resistance that like rubberized mats cause.

Single mass flywheel. His truck came stock with the problematic double mass that never seems to last and is very costly to replace.
