The point is to make the block of 'crete wider than the wheel wells so it can't slide forward. If you have a plastic bedliner, the ribs in it will keep it from sliding side to side. After your form is built, spray a light coat of diesel where the concrete will go so it won't stick (it probably won't, but the deisel will make sure) find 2 pieces of #4 rebar and put them in the 'crete side to side, and a couple 2' long pieces of 3/8" cable. make it so the cable comes up out of the 'crete and then back in, on each side, so you can easily hook a hoist to them to lift the thing out when you don't need it.

OMG - don't do that unless you can fasten it to the bed REAL good.
It's been many years ago, but I still remember driving to town one real icy morning and saw a guys truck I knew upside down in the ditch in the snow. He was using a piece of old concrete sidewalk as weight in the rear. He was lucky as it just fell out, but it COULD have went right through the back window and taken his head off !!!
