Handy as it is, tipping trays will add extra weight to your tare and take away from the payload capabilities.
Looking at some of those dual cab ute chassis, you can see the cheap pressed steel insets and joiners used where as the full C or boxed chassis the proper trucks use are straight and join free along the rear load area.
About to convert a second small truck to a full tray shortly, well worth the money due to it being a fully boxed chassis.

Save your dual cab for the fun offroad vehicle stuff.
I saw the Isuzu NPR has a 5.2L 4 cylinder engine, I reckon that'll wake up with a play

I think my next weekender is going to be a small Jap truck like a Dyna 300
