Looks like it works good. You could also add a viborator made from a starter motor and an offset weight.

Is that a Scout or Early Bronco in the first pic?

It's a '68 Scout in need of a new home.
The material I had was very dry and dumped about 7 degrees from the limit of the lift. I am not sure how much, if any, installing the steel floor will do to help things out but I could see a problem with wet soil. Dr.Dave do you have one of the vibrators, and or photos?

Yes I have one, I will try to get a picture tomarrow and post it. They make a polly liner for dump truck beds, it would be lighter than steel, and should be cheaper.

'68 Eh? Those were nice trucks.
You could try a sheet of UHMW plastic in the bottom. Perhaps that's what Dave is talking about. Available in various thicknesses, cuts and drills with standard wood tools.
