Default Tipper Conversion

I use my truck for tree surgery work and I love the look grunt and capactiy of it but dragging and shovelling chip and brush wood off by hand is a bit of a drag has anyone converted their stock buck to tip, or fitted a normal ally or steel tipper body to their truck...if so how simple was it to do, how long did it take etc etc?
Ideally I would like to modify the stock bed to tip to keep the pick up look, unless it gets really complicated, the only problem i see is relocation of the fuel filler pipe and cap, but I havn;t had my bed off to look at anything more complex than that.... So i'mm open to all suggestions formt hose who have done it or have looked into it better than me. Pictures of similar set ups especially the construction stages of them are more than welcome!

Thanks, Bill
