I was thinking a similar thing. I've got a desire for a combination
cab protector, tire stowage point and roll bar for the 5 Ton I'm
looking at. What I'm thinking is adapting the design of cab protector
for the bolster truck protection. That also gets you an additional
bit of stowage space for tools behind the driver and a Tire stowage
point behind the passenger side. Shifting the bed back by less than a
foot shouldn't affect much as far as balance goes.
