You'll have to do a false floor but it will need to be much higher, obviously. Maybe you could level it off where the 90* bend is on the inner bedside. It will be a shallow bed for sure but I think it will look good. There will be plenty of room for gas tank, air tanks, compressors, etc.

good idea. How thick is the wood for the bed?

The '63 Chevy Fleet of Yolo's had a sweet raised bed in it. Very clean and worked great for the truck. Here's a pic from his website. I think he's sold the truck though or know that he atleast had it for sale.

That's the truck I was thinking of. I'm 99% sure the bed wood is 3/4" thick.
