I did a 55 Chevy pickup once and the bed turned out so beautiful I would take my shoes off if I needed to get in it to wash the top of the cab. I had no place to carry my lawn chairs or ice chest. It was in essence a single seat vehicle that looked like a truck. Might as well have been a roadster. Sold it and did another car so I could have a trunk again.

If you bought a brand new one ton truck, zero miles on it, parked it in a temperature controlled garage and never drove it for 50 years, it's still a truck in my book...
