Im toying with the thought of doing a sheet metal box. How much work would this be? How expensive?

Well I dont bother with a tailgate when Im racing, it is just there for looks while parked,, LOL... do you know of any companies that do fiberglass panels? The only ones that I have seen are the pre runner ones, with the big bumps on them

I agree. He's the body man of the group.

You could cut out the inner fenders and box floor, and just make a tube frame to support it. Get a soft tonneau cover to hide it all.

Mike Spady's silver dodge dually with the procharger that was pulling at black out has a box like what tate mentioned, albeit no cover.
