In California, you are required to stop at all scales if you have any bed other than a pick-up bed.

Do you have any web based laws that will confirm this 'opinion?' of the state laws?
I drove several tool box body trucks for years, and have never seen one stopped at a truck scale. Perhaps if the vehicle is over 26,000 GVWR, then it might need to stop at the scales, regardless of what type of body is on the truck frame.
Pickup based trucks do not need to stop at scales in California, because they are under 19,500 pounds (for the F-550) GVWR. Even a RV type vehicle pulling another trailer with a combined weight over 26,000 pounds does not require stopping at a scale, because it is not a commercial vehicle.
