I'd use the 8 ft pickup bed. If it's a 2wd 3/4 ton that would be great. 1/2 ton won't have near the capacity due to weaker springs, tires, & shocks. You need tongue weight on your towing vehicle whether it's a car, truck, or tractor. Make sure the springs are in good shape, no broken leaves or coils, shocks in good shape. I'd wire up the tailights so you have tailights, stop lights, and turn signals, side marker lights too. When you cut and bend the frame rails to make the hitch gusset it anywhere you can. That's the weakest point of any trailer.
You still have to load the trailer reasonably. Guy hauling a single steer to butcher made me laugh. Dad drove for local livestock hauler, when we hauled a steer to butcher we just went over and took his 1964 C-60 truck with a 20 ft livestock rack. We would gate the steer up front and the truck still swayed as the steer moved around. I would NOT have hauled a second steer in a pickup box trailer whether it had a stockrack or not.
