That olive drab 79-83 exo'd pickup is BAD@SS!!!! If I had the time and money to build another rig, that would for sure be my new inspiration!
yeah its pretty awsome, my favorit is the black xtra cab.

Just my .02
I think AllPro's flat bed looks great BUT, if you keep your bed just alter it I think a bobbed and/or dovetail bed looks even better and more room AND the body lines are all the same, and on top of it I think you can retain bed space. If you have the resources you could even make a tube frame and still use the side skin and tail gate of the bed to make it look nice
This pic is not mine but one I found on the net

Agreed BUT. the flatbeds hold up better to trees! Every time I challenged a tree with my bobbed bed the tree won
Thes are cool!
I have the AllPro bed and the rear suspension setup that moves my axle rearward 3". I like it because you have no over hang and great entry/exit angles on the big rocks.
It bullet proof in the trees and ties the roll bar and sliders together nicely. Once the rest of the exocage is done it will tie the back into the front end guard too.
It also takes care of any tire clearance issues at full articulation with just about any size you could run.

Allpro Offroad bed, as you can see my 37'' Irok fits nicely in there.
Heres my 'future' build for a bed. whipped it up in about 45 minutes in CAD just now, more to come... Just time to do actual homework 
Last two
Mine, althogh I'm probably going to be hacking it all off and do something else
Anyone want the bed when I hack it off?
A lotta people seemed to like my idea of making the frame rails flat:
