A Drastic Body Change

You know what, I’m sure this is a mod that can be done correctly. I’m even more sure that the number of them that go wrong is an order of magnitude greater than the ones that go right. If you want a pickup, hey, go wild, grab yourself a pick-em-up truck in any flavor that you want. Don’t get your hands on a Corvette, saw into its rear and install a bed in there. More besides, the Corvette would not make a good pickup whatever you did to it. The lack of space, the low body posture, and even more mean that it’s an astonishingly strange idea. Don’t do this. Use a car for its designed purpose. Its designers probably understood cars more than you do.
