Ughhhhh -- yes, I constantly dream of a pickup truck on a car-size chassis, and often mentally hack off the back of cars on my jogs to imagine what they'd look like as trucks (my version of imagining girls naked ;-)) * The Auzzies had an old version of this: [LINK] * There's an awesome Tesla pickup truck mod that I'd buy long before the Cybertruck: [VIDEO]
