As long as all the under bracing is done properly, it should be plenty safe. 3/4" quarter sawn white oak is very strong and is tied into the body very firmly with steel or aluminum bed rails and 6 5/16" bolts per rail. Factory 10 gauge steel plate that the original seat blets mounted to will be under there as well.
That must mean it looks really bad if no one else wants to do it.....wierd

Sounds strong enough with all that structure to it
