that deck looks pretty solid. how will you make a car hauler, beavertail extension on the deck? rollers so the deck slides off like many tow units?
sounds like you're in for the long haul now.
My plan is to build a beaver extension on the back, and build retractable ramps into it. I plan on getting the dump bed working, but I hadn't planned on making it a roll back. I was thinking the bed a lot like this truck, but all diamond plate:
