I am thinking of doing something similar with my GMC 450 but only for display purposes, the oven would be set on the flat deck without any need for insulating between the oven and flammables.

Will you be installing the oven directly on the flat deck or will you be raising it up somewhat? I normally set the cooking floor at 42 inches off the ground for the easiest access. If you are installing the oven on the deck do you have enough room to allow for this height with a thermal break between the oven and deck?

The oven sits on to metal runners that are 3" tall x 2" wide. So there is a air gap. The oven manufacturer put a angle iron flange at each end of the runners so the oven then will be bolted to the bed.

The bed will be covered in steel. Then anchor braces will be run between the cross members so the anchor bolts will have attachment points and then be tried into the metal frame.
