Wow

Front-end clunks and traffic light vision problems would no longer be annoying issues??

I love all these versions, although this last one MAY be slightly impractical as a daily driver...

I like this one as a 5 window, because it looks to have a lil room behind the seats & to also recline the seats (some anyhow)....But that also takes away bed space.

As far as quality, the one Jeff posted I like best. But agree the tail needs lengthened to look right, no split between the cab & bed doesn't bother me..
There were some made that way, El Caminos, & a few rare Chevy pickups.
(although I can't remember which right now)..

We can only wish...
