Rocky:

Try a trucking equipment company and see what they have available to
install.

Take some measurements - do some rough sketches, tell them you're looking
for a 1 ton flat bed, and trying to decide what is best for your needs.

They may not have a 1 ton in stock, but the larger sizes should give you
some ideas.

Chat them up, perhaps get some brochures (with some specs).

Do some "social engineering."

Hope this helps.
