My preference would be for a dump insert, but they run about $3-$5K for a nice one and the conversion I got was about $2k back then.
I actually never thought of doing a dump bed... but it sounds like a good project if I ever picked up a dually! For now I'm just going to keep it as a regular flat bed.
