Yes...I was planning on doing the same thing. I'll have my battery, spare tire, jack, and tire tools mounted at the back. I'll have to check out your builds again and see how you did yours.

Given the bed is 50 in. wide a standard 4x8 ft sheet of plywood would be a little shy on the width. I found I can special order a 5x8 ft sheet at Menards for $38. I was planning on doing that and cutting it to fit. Then, add some 1/4 in. oak board to it and the bed strip for a single piece that I could pull out or hinge up. It may be a bit heavy with all that added though.
