Hey PCS, what they used to do on the old farm trucks, ones that carried watermelons and such. and had removable panels like that, each had an iron bar going across to the other side, about every 4 feet or so. The bars just dropped into a channel about a foot, which held the sides rigid. I'm not trying to knock you, that's an impressive load, and 24K is a lot of weight. If one of those sides ever blows out in a hard turn it's gonna cause a headache. Those straps won't hold it up, they'll flop over with it. Another thought on lending it some more reinforcement would be a couple cables, anchored to the bed on one side, and to the top of the other side, criss crossing each other, with quick connects, like shackles or something. You could then easily unfasten the top on each side, and dump the load without losing your cables, which would still be fastened at the bottom. Cables are easy to work with too, if you ever want to know how to weave an eye in one let me know, it's really very simple ; )
