Maybe I could fabricate a spare tire mount that could connect/clamp to the front left and right pocket in the top of the bed rails? Then I could remove it if I needed to get a large load of something. Planning on using the truck as my daily weekend driver and will be using it to haul mulch, dirt, brush, building materials, etc.

Yes - that definitely was an option and would go real well in your build. I can post pics of the one in my bed if you want. Shouldn't be too hard to scare up an OEM piece on the parts board that would bolt in.
