87 4runner Cargo Basket Help

Hello i am wanting to make a cargo basket for my 87 4runner. I don't want to put it on the gutters because the fiberglass shell can't support the weight. I also don't want to drill it into the shell, because then i won't be able to have a rack when i take the top off. I was thinking of putting it on the frame below the shell. SO it would rest on the bed of of the truck. ALso i was thinking of hooking it to where the trailer hitch is.

These 2 drawings are some ideas me and a welder were working on. I don't think i can afford to have him make it.

I am looking for some help to make this. I don't know how to weld, but i would like to help any way i could.
Please let me know if you or anyone you know could help me with making this, or designing this. I love in Salt Lake City. But i would be willing to travel some for some help.

Thanks Pat
