Not IMHO: You come up with a really, really bad idea - turning a pickup into a 4-door sedan without the trunk lid - then add complexity to try to remove some (because if I understand it correctly, you still can't haul tall loads) of the shortcomings you've designed in.

I do like the idea of under-bed storage compartments. And how about a side-gate that drops down? Hydraulic suspension that'd allow you to lower the truck for easier loading. (Spent part of yesterday lifting 8' pine logs into a 4x4, so that one really resonates)
