Wow! That's so ghetto, it needs to have Shaft playing in the background.
You could build a flatbed out of thickwall square tubing. Thick wall is 11 gauge, so for most stuff it's plenty strong and relatively inexpensive. A well made square tube bed will also serve as a base for modifications later...as you can afford/need them.
It's only the opinion of some, that flatbeds are ugly. I like a nicely done flatbed more than bobbing or dovetailing...but, that's just me.
