improving a "battleship"

Well with my truck there was no rear quarter panels, just like another cab chassis/ flatbed out there. So I was thinking that if i was getting 17 mpg (20 on highway) without any panels, i could hop it up with some fabbed panels.

all this was exposed along with diesel tank
