WOW...that's up against the wall for sure!! I would probably go to a professional truck body builder (like Reading) that builds flat-bed dumps on single axle chassis' with "GI" hitch set ups. There are tons of them locally, everywhere. You could call a commercial truck dealer like your local Freightliner or International and ask them for a reference. I think, to build what you need, ins't gonna be found on a shelf but rather have to be fabricated. It's the only way I would trust it...especially with a 1350# tongue weight.
