buliding A exo cage and tube bed need some help

I have a 1988 Toyota truck I getting ready to build I have some questions.

1. what size DOM tubing should I use 1.5 or 1.75? and thickness

2. A friend gave me I pro 105 bender should I get 90* or 180* die set for it?

3. Is there a there other places that have better prices for the dies?

4. I have the design pretty much figured out, But I am still trying to figure out the tail light lay out. Thinking samurai tail lights. If you have samurai tail lights on your rig please post a pic.
