That's the same bed that grain trucks start from. No different other than the welded down plate. It isn't the sides that are the issue. Have you ever shoveled 100 bushels of beans? Multiple times a day? If you are lucky that's ALL that would be left in the truck after the gate is opened with no hoist. That's the crazy part of the scheme right there.
Before beginning this little adventure I would take a trip to the Coop and see if they still have a lift floor that is operational. If they do, it might work. It depends on the small town. Ours still has the sling setup but I'm not sure anyone would know how to use it. Insurance companies get a little iffy on the use of such a contraption today.
My best old truck is one I paid $800 for with a blown head gasket. I can't even begin to tell you how many thousands of bushels it has hauled in its time on this farm. Be patient and open your mind to buying something that needs help. The only thing I would shy away from are brake issues. They can get pricey fast on these old trucks.
